As a Bridgerton fangirl, I definitely squealed when I learned Jonathan Bailey (who plays Anthony on the Netflix series) had joined the Wicked movie as the dancing-through-life, suave Fiyero. Have you HEARD him sing "If I Didn't Believe In You" from The Last Five Years?! Well, Jonathan himself revealed that he actually isn't the only Bridgerton star making an appearance in Wicked — and since I totally missed this cameo, there's a chance you did too.

Keep reading for the surprising Bridgerton cameo you'll see in Wicked.

  • The world fell in love with Jonathan Bailey when he played Anthony Bridgerton on Bridgerton.
  • Bridgerton fans were also super excited to see him as Fiyero in Wicked.
  • But Jonathan isn't the only Bridgerton cast member to make an appearance in the movie.

You're probably running through the whole Bridgerton cast in your mind — Luke Thompson, Luke Newton, Nicola Coughlan, Claudia Jessie, — but Jonathan Bailey is actually joined by his horse Jack! Considering how surprised I was when I learned this, you probably didn't see it coming either, did you?

“I went around to see [Wicked director] Jon Chubefore we started filming, and I said to him, I said, ‘I think I know who the horse is.’ And he was like, ‘What do you mean?’" Jonathan Bailey said in an official Wicked video. “It's Jack, the horse that I'd ridden in Bridgerton, who I had an amazing relationship with.”

In the clip, you can see Jonathan leading Jack onto the Shiz University set, and riding through the forest. “People say don't work with kids and animals," he continues. "But if it's Jack, I'd say, ‘Take the job. He's a legend.’”

- YouTube

Well, Jonathan and Jack weren't the only Wicked cast members who got along swimmingly. Ethan Slater told Brit + Co that Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo immediately made the cast feel like a family.

"[They] would hug everyone who came in," Ethan says. "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. And so 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."

And TBH, it totally translates onscreen!

Did this Bridgerton cameo surprise you? Let us know what you're most excited to see in the Wicked movie in the comments!

There are some casting decisions that feel like they're written in the stars. Margot Robbie as Barbie, Lola Tung as The Summer I Turned Pretty's Belly, and Pedro Pascal as Joel in The Last of Us definitely make the list. What I never expected, however, was for Pedro Pascal to be in talks to join two of my other fave actors in a rom-com! (The other two actors are Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, in case you're wondering). If you're as excited for this new movie as I am but don't know much about it, don't worry — I've done all the research so that you don't have to.

Here's everything we know about director Celine Song's new movie Materialists!

Here's Your First Official Look At Chris Evans & Dakota Johnson In 'Materialists'

Vanity Fair just dropped a first look at a ton of new films coming next year, but the one I was most excited to see is, of course, Materialists. In the first look we can see Celine Song and Chris Evans standing outside a New York apartment while Dakota Johnson sits in a sundress and running shoes. I love that they're having a laugh on set, and that Dakota is totally zoned into whatever Chris is saying. Although, if he was standing in front of me, that's the look I'd have on my face too.

Who's in the Materialists cast?

Image via Emiliano Bar/Unsplash

Materialists stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans. We're still waiting to hear about the supporting cast members! I'd also love to know whether Celine Song will pull a Greta Gerwig (who frequently recasts her beloved actors) and include Past Lives' Greta Lee in the cast.

Dakota Johnson told us at the Tribeca premiere of Daddio how much she enjoyed working with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans: "They're both big idiots and I love them."

Is the Materialists movie filming?

Images via @mickmicknyc

Yes, Materialists was filming in New York City as of April 2024, and it looks like they wrapped the first week of June! The first leaked videos from set (thanks to @mickmicknyc) look like they center on a wedding (which would make sense if Dakota's character is a matchmaker). Based on their costumes, my guess is Chris Evans plays the actor-waiter, while Pedro Pascal plays the new man in our leading lady's life. The Vampire Diaries, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Friday Night Lights — will the love triangles never cease?!

One thing I'm really excited about is the outfits because they're SO summery and SO New York. Floral blouses with peep toe heels! White button downs with jeans! Sundresses and sneakers! This might just influence my wardrobe for the foreseeable future.

When is Materialists coming out?

Image via Myke Simon/Unsplash

Materialists started filming in New York City during spring 2024, so we could see the movie in the summer or fall of 2025.

What is Materialists about?

Image via JC Olivera/Getty Images

While we don't have an official synopsis for Celine Song's follow up to Past Lives, it looks like Materialists follows a professional NYC matchmaker (likely played by Dakota Johnson), via Deadline. The matchmaker gets involved with a wealthy man, but realizes she can't shake her feelings for an actor-waiter from her past. Juicy! It's giving a little bit of It Ends With Us, it's giving a little bit of Playing With Matches. I'm totally here for it.

According to Merriam Webster, a materialist is someone who has a "preoccupation with or stress upon material rather than intellectual or spiritual things." This feels like an indication we'll see these characters have to figure out what's important to them, and whether they prioritize material things or relationships.

Did A24 produce Past Lives?

Yes, A24 helped produce Celine Song's directorial debut Past Lives (which she also wrote). Past Lives follows childhood friends Nora and Hae Sung, reconnect two decades after Nora's family leaves South Korea. The week they spend together in New York will bring up questions they've both been holding onto — about love, life, and destiny.

The film was met with rave reviews from both critics and the Brit + Co team, and remains one of the most beautiful contemporary films in recent years.

What else has Pedro Pascal been in?

While The Last of Us catapulted Pedro Pascal even MORE into mainstream media, he's starred in a variety of shows and movies over the last 20 years. He was in a 1999 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and played the recurring role of Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones. Pedro Pascal joined the Star Wars universe with The Mandalorian in 2019, and was also in my personal favorite movie of 2022, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

In addition to Materialists, we'll see him in the MCU's Fantastic Four and Gladiator 2. I'd like to get his agent to schedule my entire life because those are some insanely impressive time management skills.

What has Chris Evans been in?

You probably recognize Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America in Marvel Studios' superhero flicks, but he's also done a number of other movies, too (including the 2005 Fantastic Four, which is funny considering Pedro Pascal is in the new installment). Chris Evans has some great range, and is in everything from the wacky Scott Pilgrim vs. the World to the action-packed Snowpiercer to the mysterious Knives Out with Ana de Armas.

If you're a fan of romantic dramas and haven't seen Before We Go (which is also Chris' directorial debut), I totally recommend it. I've seen Chris in so many action movies that I loved how much space there is for the characters to get to know each other. Fingers crossed that we see the same in Materialists.

Where can I watch Dakota Johnson?

You can see Dakota Johnson in 2024's Madame Web, but you can also catch her in The Social Network, the Fifty Shades of Gray series, and two beloved YouTube videos: Dakota Johnson’s Favorite Comedian Isn’t Ellen and Inside Dakota Johnson's Serene Hollywood Home.

I also wholeheartedly recommend The Peanut Butter Falcon, which was written and directed by Outer Banks native Tyler Nilson alongside Michael Schwartz. The film follows a young man with Down syndrome who escapes an assisted living facility and becomes fast friends with a fisherman on the run as a social worker (played by Dakota) tries to track them.
