“Black Panther” Cast and Crew Discuss Why It’s Already Become a Cultural Phenomenon

'Wicked: For Good' has a "little bit of spice."

At the 2025 SAG Awards on February 23, Cynthia Erivo spilled on what fans can expect from Wicked: Part Two, which is scheduled to premiere November 21, 2025.

"I think you can expect a little bit of spice in the second part because they've grown up a little bit," she tells People. "They're not in school anymore; they've stepped into their careers and stepped into their choices and we'll see a little bit of spice, I think. For sure. It's necessary." Okay, that totally makes me think of "As Long As You're Mine." It gives me butterflies every time I hear the original Broadway version, and I can't wait to hear Cynthia and Jonathan Bailey sing the movie version.

And this isn't the first time one of our leads has spoken on the new movie! On February 9, Ariana Grande told the Santa Barbara International Festival the Wicked sequel will be "very special" and "very emotional." (Get ready for another press tour full of tears!) "So if movie one is about choices, movie two is about consequences."

"I think the second movie really embodies unconditional love and forgiveness and friendship," she says. "And you'll have to wait and see, but it is quite different."

Even if Wicked: For Good is different than Part 1, one thing's for sure: the cast's bond will shine through just as strongly.

Ethan Slater told Brit + Co in November 2024 that the cast really came to feel like a family. He says Ariana, Cynthia, and director Jon M. Chu "would hug everyone who came in."

"The first day I think every actor had a minimum two-hour meeting with Jon just to walk through all of the designs and all the things and talk about character," he continues. "From from the very beginning, it just felt like it's really safe...This huge movie is something that we've been waiting for for 20 years on a big scale with the biggest stars in the world, it could have felt really intimidating and it felt really familial immediately."

Why This Lunar Eclipse In Virgo Will Be Memorable

At 23 degrees in Virgo, this lunar eclipse signals profound shifts in how we treat ourselves and align with true integrity. Our bodies will begin to mirror the impact of our thoughts and emotions — what we nurture in our mind projects outward, reshaping our reality. Virgo’s influence, ruling the intellect and grounded as an earth sign, reminds us that progress can stall without balance in mind, body, and spirit. This eclipse invites us to transform self-deprecating tendencies into self-care and wellness practices. With Virgo governing the stomach, monitoring your digestive health and adjusting your thoughts and food choices is essential, as sensitivity is heightened now. Like all super full moons, this eclipse encourages you to honor your body — seize the opportunity to focus on your well-being in small, measured steps. Fad diets or gimmicks aren’t in Virgo’s nature; moderation is key.

What to Expect During This 2025 Virgo Lunar Eclipse

This lunar eclipse will interact with Uranus, Neptune, Mars, and Saturn, creating a groundbreaking event that invokes shocking life changes. The Moon’s trine to Uranus eases the understanding of what we need to shift to make room for greater opportunities. Remember that lunar eclipses are not meant to initiate new projects; it is a period to reflect on what needs to be recognized and surrendered for your well-being.

The lunar eclipse will oppose the transcendent planet Neptune, extending a new perspective on our current dreams and life direction. It is superfluous and can create a rose-colored flow in our subconscious, making us a bit de lulu about endeavors these next six months. Utilize this energy for creative or spirit work. Get a grounding mat.

Luckily, Mars is direct, and the Moon, in sextile with the action planet, will grant focus on the end goal involving endeavors. So, tie any loose ends with the past or projects. You are ready to close the chapter.

The lunar eclipse opposing Saturn spotlights our views towards structure and unresolved issues. It's not a period to lament what has been lost; it is meant to help you find acceptance and learn that you cannot control the ghosts of your past. Remember this mantra: self-reflection is the key to the soul’s progression.

Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Gemini (sun, Moon, or rising) fall within the 18-28 degrees. For the next 18 months, your life will begin to change for your highest good! Many often fear change, but I believe you are equipped and ready to witness your ultimate glow-up.
