We start strong with Wicked: Part II – baptized in English as Evil: forever-, the sequence of Evil (2024) in which we will be informed the second half of the Broadway musical on which it is based.
Evil He presented us with an alternative story to that of The Wizard of Oz (1939), in which, instead of following in Dorothy’s footsteps, we get to know the film’s villain more closely. Of course, in this adventure we discover that in reality the Wicked Witch of the West It wasn’t as bad as we thought.

In addition to sequels, November is also a time for remakes, and one of the most powerful of the week will be The running mana new film adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name.
