The Wicked: For Good trailer is finally here, but there's still one huge mystery about the film left unsolved - who is playing Dorothy?
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande return to the wonderful land of Oz as Elphaba and Glinda respectively, in the follow-up to 2024's Oscar-winning fantasy hit Wicked.
The eagerly anticipated trailer for the film teases the fallout of Elphaba and Glinda's estrangement and the former's quest to expose the Wizard for exactly who he is.
And that's not the only secret the trailer holds, with fans still no closer to learning who will play Dorothy Gale, the young farmgirl from Kansas who accidentally transports to Oz with her dog Toto.
The trailer shows a glimpse of the character in her signature blue and white gingham dress, but we don't get to see her face, nor is there an actor confirmed in the role just yet.

What to Read Next
Rumours are circulating as to which star will land the iconic role, following in the footsteps of Judy Garland, who played Dorothy in the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz.
Many believe Wicked Little Letters and Abigail star Alisha Weir will take on the role, with the actor addressing the "absolutely crazy" speculation earlier this year.
"When I saw the rumour, I thought this is absolutely crazy and it went so crazy on social media and everyone was asking me... I mean that would be wonderful," she told Irish broadcaster RTÉ.
"I am such a big fan of Wicked and I saw the first one with my family. I am such a big fan of Jon Chu's work and Ariana Grande and Cynthia, but that would be pretty cool."

Director Jon M. Chu gave more insight into the character and how much we will see her on-screen in an interview with Vanity Fair.
"That intersection is the place that we were first introduced into Oz,” he said, referring to Dorothy walking Oz's Yellow Brick Road in the trailer.
On the fact that Dorothy is a more prominent character in the Wicked film universe than in the stage show, Chu added: "We tread lightly, but try to make more sense of how it impacts our girls and our characters than maybe the show does. We’re delicate. We’re delicate. We’re delicate."
Luckily, fans don't have long to wait to find out who will be playing Dorothy with Wicked: For Good hitting screens this autumn.
Wicked: For Good is released in cinemas on 21 November.
