Marc Platt Wanted Just One WICKED Movie with an Intermission- 'That Was One Battle I Lost'

Wicked fans still have months to wait for the second film, Wicked: For God, but if it had been up to producer Marc Platt, that might not have been the case. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Platt revealed his original plan for the films at nominees breakfast for the Producers Guild of America. “I remember going to the movies as a kid and watching musicals or Lawrence of Arabia that had intermissions in it, and that was actually my dream for Wicked, that we could do it with intermission. That was one battle I lost.”

Broadway fans can rent or purchase Wicked on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Microsoft Movies & TV. It costs $19.99 to rent and $29.99 to buy the film. Find out how to watch Wicked on your favorite digital platform here.
