The Wizard of Oz 2 (2026) – First Trailer | Jenna Ortega, Tom Hanks

The trailer opens with the iconic Emerald City, glowing brighter than ever before, but this time, there’s an unsettling dark cloud hovering above it. The camera zooms in on Dorothy Gale’s house, which now stands at the edge of a new, mysterious land — a place that feels both familiar and foreign. The sound of whispers fills the air, and the camera sways slightly as the wind begins to pick up.

Narrator (Tom Hanks’ voice, calm and wise):
“In every story, there’s a beginning… but sometimes, even the brightest worlds must face their darkest hour.”

The camera cuts to a familiar face: Dorothy Gale (Jenna Ortega), now grown but with that same spark in her eyes. She stands in front of the tornado-ravaged farm where she once lived, her hand resting on the cracked stone of her long-forgotten pathway to Oz.

Dorothy (Jenna Ortega, quietly):
“I thought I’d left this world behind. But Oz isn’t done with me yet.”

Cue the eerie sound of wind howling, and a magical ripple appears in the air. Suddenly, the camera cuts to a mysterious, shadowed figure in the distance — a dark sorcerer, powerful and unknown. He emerges from the shadows of the land, his eyes glowing red as he looks towards Dorothy.

Dark Sorcerer (Tom Hanks, voice deep and menacing):
“The world of Oz has forgotten its true power… but I will remind them. And you, Dorothy, will help me.”

Cut to:
Dorothy, now older but still armed with the same courage and heart, stepping into the world she thought she’d left behind. The camera shows the Yellow Brick Road, now cracked and overgrown, leading through a much darker version of Oz. As Dorothy walks, we hear a soft echo of the past — the scarecrow, tin man, and lion all whispering their names, now lost to time.

Dorothy (with quiet resolve):
“I thought I had everything figured out… but Oz has changed, and it’s not the place I remember.”

Cut to:
Scarecrow (now more tattered and twisted, but still filled with wisdom):
“Oz is turning against itself, Dorothy. The magic we once knew is corrupted. We need you again… but we’ve lost something… something vital.”

Dorothy (turning to him, concerned):
“What’s happened to Oz? Why is everything changing?”

Scarecrow (shaking his head):
“A new darkness has risen… and only you can stop it.”

Suddenly, the Emerald City begins to wither, its once-vibrant glow dimming under the influence of the dark sorcerer. The camera shifts, showing Dorothy and the Scarecrow, now joined by an all-new companion — a mysterious young sorceress, played by an up-and-coming actress (her eyes glowing with the same mysterious energy). She reveals herself to be someone from Dorothy’s past, her destiny entwined with the future of Oz.

Young Sorceress (new character, enigmatic):
“You think you’ve seen everything Oz has to offer. But there are new lands beneath the surface, hidden beneath the dreams you’ve forgotten.”

Cut to:

• The Tin Man, his once-shiny body now rusted and damaged, sitting under a darkened sky.
• The Cowardly Lion, hiding in a cave, his roar no longer as mighty as it once was.
• A new army of creatures rises from the depths of Oz, controlled by the dark sorcerer’s magic.

Lion (weakly, in a growl):
“I’m not who I used to be. But if Dorothy’s back, I’ll fight like I never have before.”

**The camera flashes through a series of action-packed sequences:

• Dorothy leading a team of friends and new allies, battling strange, magical beasts.
• Magical landscapes crumbling, with vines and shadows swallowing the light.
• The dark sorcerer unleashing devastating power, as his influence spreads across Oz, creating chaos.
• Dorothy facing her own self-doubt, as she tries to reconcile the magic of Oz with the real world she left behind.

Dorothy (standing tall, defiantly):
“I may not be the same girl who landed here all those years ago… but I’ve learned something from this world. And I won’t let it fall into darkness.”

**The camera cuts to a final, dramatic showdown:

• Dorothy faces off against the dark sorcerer, their powers clashing in a massive magical duel, as the land of Oz begins to fracture around them.
• Her old friends — the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion — return to their true forms, joining her in the battle.

Dark Sorcerer (laughing, powerful):
“You think you can stop me, Dorothy? I’ve already rewritten the story!”

Dorothy (with resolve, as she uses her magic to push back):
“Oz isn’t yours to rewrite. It’s ours to protect.”

Final scene:
The camera shows Dorothy standing on the Yellow Brick Road again, but this time, it’s not the road she remembers. It’s something new, something changed. The sky clears, and Oz begins to rebuild itself, the dark clouds parting as new magic fills the land.

Dorothy (reflectively, smiling softly):
“Home is where you make it. And maybe, just maybe… Oz still has a few surprises left for me.”
