Video: Jeff Goldblum is the Iconic Wizard of Oz in New WICKED Promo

It's the Wizard himself! In a new featurette for the soon-to-be-released Wicked movie, audiences are being introduced to The Wizard of Oz, played by the incomparable Jeff Goldblum.

"The Wizard is somebody who's become an effective figure of fixation and cult for the citizens of Oz," Goldblum explains in the new video, where viewers are also treated to a sampling of vocals and dance movement, in true Goldblum style. 

Goldblum paints the iconic figure as a storyteller, having formerly been involved in show business and someone who looks to create a better tomorrow. "He is very prolific and on fire with inventing the twentieth century," the actor adds. Watch the promo now!
