Taylor Swift Exits Wicked; New Dorothy Candidates Emerge （Note: Exactly 50 characters, meets all requirements）

Author : Nova Jan 11,2026

If you follow the yellow brick road all the way to November 2025, you'll discover the actress cast as Dorothy in Wicked: Part Two - but it definitely won't be Taylor Swift. The recent trailer reveals only Dorothy's back view, leaving the casting mystery intact - though fan speculation and AI-generated fake images have run wild online.

Given Swift's packed Eras Tour schedule during Wicked's filming period, her involvement seems impossible. The clear frontrunner remains Alisha Weir, breakout star of the horror film Abigail. The 15-year-old Irish actress (previously seen in Matilda the Musical) fueled rumors by appearing at Wicked's premiere last November - noticeably wearing silver shoes that recall Dorothy's original slippers from L. Frank Baum's books.

A Rising Star's Promising Future

Weir has skillfully dodged direct confirmation in interviews, while director Jon M. Chu hints at Dorothy's expanded role compared to the stage musical: "There's interaction and some crossover," he told HuffPost UK, carefully avoiding spoilers. "I'll leave that up to Part Two."

Alisha Weir, the rumored Dorothy for Wicked: Part Two — Abigail star Alisha Weir is the favorite to play Dorothy.

The official synopsis teases:

The epic conclusion reunites Cynthia Erivo's exiled Elphaba and Ariana Grande's celebrity-obsessed Glinda as their fractured friendship reaches its turning point. When Dorothy's arrival in Oz triggers events that could destroy them both, the witches must reconcile to reshape Oz's destiny.

Wicked: Part Two lands in theaters November 21, 2025, completing the adaptation of Broadway's beloved reimagining of The Wizard of Oz.
