What we know about Wicked: For Good is limited, but it's expected to arrive in November and adapt the musical's second act. It sounds like George Lucas will be in theaters when it arrives, as he really enjoyed the first film. While appearing on CBS Mornings, director Jon M. Chu revealed that the Star Wars legend reached out to him, saying:

Wicked” director Jon M. Chu recently told CBS Mornings that none other than “Star Wars” director George Lucas cold called him to rave about the blockbuster movie musical. Since debuting in theaters just ahead of Thanksgiving,

Tons of movie fans have gone to see Wicked in the last month, and those who enjoyed it are in good company. The blockbuster musical was a huge success by box office as well as fan standards, and filmmaker George Lucas had major praise for Wicked director Jon M.

Jon M. Chu says he got a call from George Lucas to praise his work on Wicked after the Star Wars director saw the film at a local mall. The post George Lucas called Jon M. Chu to immediately after seeing Wicked to praise him for the enchanting adaptation appeared first on JoBlo.

In an interview, the director shared that George FaceTimed him after being amazed at Wicked. He added that he had never met the latter, but the Star Wars creator called to tell him how much he appreciated his work.
