Speculation has swirled online, with some pointing to Matilda actress Alisha Weir as a possible contender. Others have suggested pop star Taylor Swift could play Dorothy, though circulating images of her as the character have been debunked as AI-generated.

Who plays Dorothy in 'Wicked: For Good'?
The identity of the actress playing Dorothy in Wicked: For Good remains officially unconfirmed.
While the character made a brief appearance in Wicked: Part I, her role is expected to be more prominent in the upcoming sequel, with the new trailer offering a clearer glimpse of Dorothy alongside the iconic trio - the Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man - as they meet the Wizard of Oz and follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Despite this increased visibility, no casting details for Dorothy have been added to IMDb, keeping fans guessing.
One name that has sparked speculation is Alisha Weir, a 15-year-old actress best known for her role in Netflix’s Matilda the Musical. She first fuelled rumours when she appeared at the London premiere of Wicked: Part I in 2024 wearing metallic silver flats - reminiscent of Dorothy’s iconic footwear.
