It seems like this user doesn’t care about the title change as reflected in the GIF and wants the movie to be released already.

Then why part 1? (via @AdamInHTownTX/X)

This fan makes a humorous point: If the sequel was always meant to have a title Evil: Foreverthen why did it say on the title screen of the first film Evil: Part 1? Caught!

It seems this user gave us the best of both worlds. 2 bad 4 good cleverly combines the old and new titles seamlessly.

A bunch of nothing (via @blindinglights/X)

Many users felt the title change announcement was a whole lot of nothing, and this user merely suggested an alternative title. However, Wicked Part 2: Forever might seem a bit too long for some!

Power of Part 2 (via @_peytonhacker/X)

All of the films mentioned by this user with Part 2 in the title were huge hits. It seems this user just debunked Jon M. Chu’s theory!

Makes sense (via @MikeBinderjokes/X)

Ah, that subtle sarcasm! We see what you did there, sir! We saw it For Good!

Taking the musical route (via @ImpishRomantic/X)

Well, if Wicked really wants to stick to the textbooks when naming its sequel, it should be called Act 2 rather than any of the other options, since it’s a musical, and that’s the usual naming.

The title change for the highly anticipated Evil The sequel might have stunned fans. However, it certainly hasn’t dampened the hype and excitement as fans are still waiting with bated breath for the upcoming November 2025.
