American singer-songwriter Ariana plays Glyna Upland, a beautiful-popular girl who later becomes the Good Witch of the North. She can be seen radiating the aura of a goddess in a stunning pink gown.
On the other hand, actress Cynthia Erivo’s character of Alphathrope is dressed in a witch gown and black cape as she is the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West.
Jon M. Chu also did a follow-up tweet to explain how working with these two actresses has changed him for good. The director tweeted, “I’ve already been changed for good by these two ladies… #CynthiaErivo and #ArianaGrande as witches. They’ll raise your spirits, break your heart and leave you speechless with their voices.” So excited to introduce you to our world… there’s a lot more to come…’

The film’s cast includes Bowen Yang, Keala Settle, Marissa Bode, Brownwyn James, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, and Jonathan Bailey.
A few weeks ago, John posted a letter on his Instagram handle explaining why ‘Rogue’ deserves a two-part film series.
Their letter read “As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises of the source material that has entertained us all for so many years. So we ourselves decided to give Rogue a bigger canvas and not just one Rogue movie but TWO!!!! With more space, we can tell the Rogues story as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and wonder to the journey of these beloved characters .
‘Rogue’ will hit the theaters on November 27, 2024. (ANI)
