Director Jon M. Chu revealed he withheld the final shot of Wicked: For Good from Universal Pictures executives to prevent its use in marketing. The scene features Glinda whispering to Elphaba, recreating the iconic Broadway poster. Chu noted that stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo improvised the dialogue, which even he does not know.
