‘Wicked’ Star Marissa Bode Explains Plot Change for Her Character in the Sequel: ‘The Old Narrative Was Outdated’

Marissa Bode had no issues with the plot changes made for her character, Nessarose Thropp, in “Wicked: For Good” — in fact, she was thrilled about it.

In a new interview with Go Mag, the actress and disability advocate — who stars opposite Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the “Wicked” musical movies for Universal Pictures — addressed a viral moment from the trailer, which saw her character flying in the air after donning an enchanted pair of slippers.

While it was just a glimpse of the pivotal moment, it confirmed that a once problematic character development in the stage production had been altered for its film adaptation — and Bode made it clear she couldn’t be happier.
