In a new interview with Screen Rant, the film's director, John M. Chu, shared an intriguing quote about Dorothy and what we can expect moving forward. Chu notes, "Well, I won't talk too much about what we show or don't show in [Wicked Part Two]. But in [Wicked], it was important to let Dorothy be how you want her to be. I didn't want to step on your images of whatever version of Dorothy you wanted her to be. But the presence is important because that plays a significant role in what will happen and how they intersect. That was sort of how we played with it. But you'll have to see movie 2 to know how far we go with her."
