The long-awaited reveal of the character Dorothy in the upcoming film "Wicked: For Good" has finally been made public. British theater actress Bethany Weaver has been cast in this iconic role, albeit under strict measures to keep her anonymity. Dorothy will only appear for a brief 69 seconds and utter just six words throughout the film's 2 hour and 17 minute runtime. This choice aligns with director Jon M Chu's vision to avoid overshadowing the main characters, Elphaba and Glinda, portrayed by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. The film has faced speculation over Dorothy's casting, with notable names including Alisha Weir and Taylor Swift mentioned prior to the announcement. Since reviews started, the film has received mixed feedback, earning a score of 6/10, yet it retains the essence of its predecessor with lavish sets and powerful songs.
