Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo announced that they would star in the film on November 4, 2021. 

“Dear Cynthia, honored doesn’t even begin to cover it. I cannot wait to hug you. See you in Oz,” the pop star wrote in a message to Cynthia at the time, sent with a pink and green floral arrangement (the signature colors of Glinda and Elphaba), as per Variety.

“I’ve been a fan of both Ariana and Cynthia for a while, so I was probably just daydreaming when I tweeted about them for Wicked. I felt they would both deliver incredible performances for a musical that demands real talent,” he told Newsweek.

“Seeing the post get traction all this time later just affirms that I should believe in my artistic vision! Which means a lot as an up-and-coming artist myself. 

“I’m so glad Jon Chu saw what I saw and cast them!! The movie is amazing.”

When Isaiah shared his prediction, Ariana had yet to star as the lead in a film. The young singer got her start on Broadway in the musical 13 and later appeared in shows like Nickelodeon’s Victorious and Sam & Cat. She also had a minor role in Adam McKay’s 2021 film Don’t Look Up.
