Wicked director says part two has increased in relevance because of ‘where we are in society right now’

In a three-star review for The Independent, film critic Clarisse Loughrey argued that the film is “fun and well acted” but “looks terrible.”

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

Wicked director Jon M Chu has said the second part of the film, which is due to be released next year, is “eight times more relevant” because of where we are “in society right now.”
