Wicked Part 2 Trailer Reddit

Though the character’s face isn’t revealed, a brief shot of a girl with braided pigtails and a gingham-style dress walking into Oz has sent the internet into full detective mode. Fans are convinced they’ve figured it out: Alisha Weir, best known for her role in Matilda the Musical, is rumored to be the mystery actress playing Dorothy (as outlined in this Reddit thread).

There has been no official confirmation from Universal or director Jon M. Chu, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation from gaining serious momentum. Side-by-side comparisons of Weir’s silhouette and the trailer footage are making the rounds on social media, along with reports from alleged “insider sources” claiming she quietly joined the cast during reshoots.
If true, it would mark a major moment for Weir, stepping into one of the most iconic roles in film and literary history—and one that’s rarely introduced this late in the Wicked storyline. Still, without any studio statement or official cast update, the rumor remains just that: a rumor.
With Wicked: Part Two set to hit theaters in late 2025, speculation will likely continue to swirl until a full reveal drops. For now, all we have is a glimpse of ruby slippers—and a whole lot of guessing.
