Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible in Wicked
The Big Picture It was recently Michelle Yeoh's birthday and to celebrate, Wicked shared an image of the Oscar-winning actress' upcoming role. Yeoh is cast to play Madame Morrible, the headmistress of Shiz University, and will be joining other cast members, like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. The film is based on the popular Broadway musical of the same name and is set years earlier in The Wizard of Oz universe.
Wicked will be released this Thanksgiving, alongside Gladiator II, in hopes of recreating the Barbenheimer phenomenon from 2023 and encouraging people to go to the theaters. The recent trailers for the film featured a glimpse of how Yeoh will portray this character. She guides Elphaba Thropp through her magic training after discovering that she has talent. She later calls her the "Wicked Witch" after she chooses to betray the Wizard.
Yeoh has appeared in multiple projects, including Crazy Rich Asians, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, just to name a few. Some of her future roles aside from Wicked include Star Trek: Section 31, the Blade Runner 2099 mini-series, and the next installments of James Cameron's Avatar movies.
