Jon M Chu, the director of Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights, is taking on the land of Oz. He has inherited filmmaking duties from Stephen Daldry on Wicked, Universal’s big-screen adaptation of the hit musical. Daldry departed the project, which has been in the works for over a decade, last October due to scheduling conflicts. It’s still unclear who will star in the film, or when it will be released. Wicked was taken off Universal’s film schedule amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Chu shared his excitement on social media.
