The sequel will be titled Wicked: For Good, which is a reference to the Act Two duet “For Good” between Elphaba and Glinda.

Ariana opened up about the title change in a new interview with Variety, in which she revealed she’s known about the title since they began filming.

“We had [‘For Good’] printed on our original scripts, the hard copies that we were originally given,” she said. “We were floating around different ideas but the scripts were printed with it since day one. I’m glad it’s official now because we grew rather attached to it.”

“It’s just the perfect title because this project really has changed us for good,” Ariana added.
