“Wicked: For Good,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, will be released on November 21, 2025. Fans have taken notice of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo after they jokingly hinted at another viral moment that the two actors produced on their Wicked press tour. Elle magazine invited the 32-year-old pop star and the 38-year-old Oscar-nominated actress to characterize each other’s “auras” during the Wicked: For Good premiere in Paris on Friday. Cynthia’s was “yellow,” like “sunshine,” according to Ariana, who also observed, “I think there’s also purple.” Then, eyeing Ariana, Cynthia remarked, “I see, like a ciel blue, you know? similar to aqua. And sunset-orange.
The co-stars-turned-friends are promoting the sequel to last year’s Wicked, and their intense, endearing chemistry in interviews is creating attention once more. One Reddit user commented after the red carpet event, “I can’t go through this again,” referring to the movie stars’ earlier “cringeworthy” press run incidents from the previous year. Another Redditor said, “We’re all holding space for them,” using terminology from popular therapy. Did I say that correctly? “It seems like they’ve toned it down compared to last year, and wisely so,” someone said.
Another person commented, “I’m sure another full court press like they did last year would have annoyed everyone and possibly turned some people off from seeing the new movie.” A user said, “They’re sweet and all, but this annoys the living daylights out of me.”
