‘Crazy Rich Asians’ director Jon M. Chu is set to direct the film adaptation of ‘Wicked’ in two separate movies which will star Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West.

Chu made the announcement in a post on Twitter today writing, “As we prepared the production over the last year, it became increasingly clear that it would be impossible to wrestle the story of Wicked into a single film without doing some real damage to it.”
