There's some very exciting news for fans of the hit musical Wicked - the very first trailer for the upcoming movie has finally dropped.
The teaser for the new film, which comes out in November this year, was shown for the very first time during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
It's part one of a two-part series, with the second movie set to be released in 2025.
Like the long-running and mega-successful stage show, Wicked is based on a novel by author Gregory Maguire and tells the backstory of Elphaba, who goes on to become the Wicked Witch of West in the Wizard of Oz.
The newly released clip is only one minute long, but it's already gotten lots of people excited, racking up huge numbers online.
So what can we expect from the new movie? Are you looking forward to the new Wicked movie? Let us know in the comments below and read on to find out more.
The Witches
Lots of fans are excited to see Ariana Grande as Glinda
It's been a few years since it was first announced Ariana Grande would be taking on the role of Glinda the Good Witch in the upcoming Wicked movie.
After a long wait, fans finally have a chance to see the pop star in action.
She stars alongside actress and singer Cynthia Erivo who plays the famously green Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, who you may also recognise from when she was a guest judge on Strictly.
Audiences are quickly introduced to both characters in the trailer, while a new version of the iconic song 'Defying Gravity', featuring Cynthia's vocals, builds in the background.
The Scenery
Michelle Yeoh's stars as Madame Morrible in the new film
The new teaser gives us the first glance at the Land of Oz where Wicked is set, and it's certainly impressive.
The grand buildings and vibrant landscapes look like they've been taken straight from a fairytale, and viewers should be prepared to be transported to a brand new world.
The Action
Here's a first look at the famous Wizard of Oz
The Wicked trailer may only be short and sweet, but it's jampacked with lots of action.
The teaser alone features mythical winged creatures flying high in the sky, lots of magic, a terrifying wizard and Elphaba crashing through a window before victoriously ascending on her broomstick - what more could you ask for?
