Hey there movie buffs! Big news on the Hollywood front – Universal has decided to shake things up by moving up the release date of Wicked to November 22nd. Yep, you heard right – it’s now going head to head with Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II. Cue the dramatic music!
Now, you might be scratching your head wondering why they would do such a thing. Well, it turns out they’re targeting different crowds with these two films. We’ve got the musical lovers gearing up for Wicked and the action junkies ready for Gladiator II. It’s like a battle of the genres, folks. Who will come out on top?
Originally, Wicked was set to share its release date with Moana 2, but now Disney’s sequel is off on its own little island. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are gearing up to wow us as Elphaba and Glinda, taking us on a wild ride through the Land of Oz. Something tells me this isn’t your grandma’s Wizard of Oz, folks.
And let’s not forget about the star-studded cast of Gladiator II. Paul Mescal as Lucius, fighting against the oppressive Roman rulers with a sword in hand? Sign me up! It’s like a blast from the past mixed with some serious action-packed drama.
So mark your calendars, folks, because November 22nd is shaping up to be one epic movie showdown. Will you be team Wicked or team Gladiator II? Let the games begin! And hey, don’t forget to bring your popcorn and maybe a friend or two. Sharing is caring, after all.
