When asked about Dorothy’s possible appearance in Wicked: Part Two by Variety, director Chu said: “I won’t say whether she’s a character, necessarily, in movie two. There’s a part of me that wants everyone’s Dorothy to be the whatever Dorothy they want. And yet, there is interaction and some crossover. So I’ll leave that up to ‘Part Two.’”

"Wicked" director Jon M. Chu had previously announced the film would be split into two parts because it was "impossible" to shrink the Broadway play.
