While Dorothy isn't a major role in the Broadway production of Wicked, the iconic Wizard of Oz character will make a cameo in Wicked: For Good. In the stage adaptation, Dorothy's presence only occurs in the background and shadows. However, fans got a brief glimpse of the movie version of Dorothy in the Wicked: For Good trailer. While her face was not shown while walking down the yellow brick road, fans took to the internet to speculate who they believe will play Dorothy. Names like Alisha Weir, Maddie Ziegler and Dove Cameron were thrown into the mix to portray the role made famous by the late Judy Garland. At this time, an official casting announcement has not been revealed. However, director Jon M. Chu has teased what fans can expect from the character. "Well, we definitely did cast Dorothy. You see her in some of our teasers," he told Cinema Blend in December 2024. "How much of do you see of Dorothy? ... I can't confirm or deny how much you see of her. I will say that I do think it's important for, whoever Dorothy is to you, to try to respect that as much as possible. But does The Wizard of Oz and our movie intersect in movie two more than ever? 100 percent."
