A new version of "For Good"

"We added a couple of pieces of dialogue at its beginning," Chu told *Deadline *of the tearjerker finale duet between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande). "So [Elphaba] says, 'Look at me, not through your eyes, through theirs.' That's new. She used to say, 'Look at me. I'm limited'.... She says, 'Look at me,' and she pauses. We really wanted to refine the song."

More — and younger — Glinda

Fans of the stage production will recall that the film ends similarly to how it begins, with Glinda speaking to the Munchkins from her bubble.

After watching the rough edit, Chu decided to revisit Glinda's final speech because, he said, "I just needed to refine it."

The director also insisted on filming a scene that had been cut during initial production: a peek at Glinda's childhood, which shaped Baby Glinda into the woman who arrived at Shiz in the first movie and colors her choices in *For Good*. (Much like the flashbacks of Baby Elphaba and Baby Nessa at the start of *Wicked*.)

"We had that scene in the script, and I knew we should have kept it, but we didn't shoot it at the time because we had a lot of other pressures," Chu said, adding that, at the time, producer Marc Platt had promised the chance to go back and add it if he felt they needed it.

A celebrity voice for the Cowardly Lion

Chu told *Deadline* that around the time of the reshoots in March, he got the idea to DM an actor on social media, asking if they would be interested in voicing the Cowardly Lion, a grown-up version of the cub Elphaba and Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) save in the first film.

"I was like, 'It's not a ton of lines, but maybe you have a little time. I know you're busy. I'll come to you,'' Chu said of his messages. "He was like, 'Why the f--- not, let's go!' And then we went ahead and recorded the lines."

While Chu is keeping the identity of the star a secret, he did tease, "Man, wait until the red carpet when the actor who gave us the Cowardly Lion's voice steps foot on it. It'll be wild."

Debbie Harry is waiting for the biopic treatment — and now the iconic Blondie frontwoman is revealing her dream casting.

The "Heart of Glass" singer offered her two cents on who should play her in a film inspired by her life in a new interview.

"If it were somebody like Florence Pugh, I would be in heaven," Harry told U.K. outlet *The Times*. "I just think she's a great actor and she could do anything."

BLONDIE

Pugh actually expressed her interest in playing Harry at a panel at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in 2020. When asked what famous figures she might want to portray on screen in the future, the Oscar-nominated actress responded, "Blondie, just because she's so cool."

She also threw another classic English singer into the mix at the time. "I grew up pretending I was Dusty Springfield 'cause she had a really low voice, and I was like, 'Hey, I have a low voice too,'" she said. "Those two."

Representatives for Pugh did not immediately respond to **'s request for comment.

On paper, Pugh would be a natural fit to play Harry. The star is currently 29 years old, and Harry was 31 when Blondie released their self-titled debut album in 1976. Pugh is 5 foot 4, just an inch taller than Harry, and also usually sports a blonde 'do similar to the unmistakable shade the "One Way or Another" vocalist has rocked for years. And that's not to mention the shared low pitch of their voices.

Pugh has also shown off her musical talents before. The actress played an aspiring musician in Zach Braff's 2023 drama, *A Good Person*, not only singing but also writing two original songs that her character performed in the movie titled "I Hate Myself" and "The Best Part."

Harry previously gave her blessing to another actress who was reportedly set to play her in a different Blondie biopic that entered pre-production in the late 2000s but never materialized: Kirsten Dunst.

"She's just a sweetie," Harry told Spinner in 2007 (via NME). "She's probably capable of a lot of things she hasn't been asked to do yet, and doing something that's sort of left of center would be great for her."**

Key Points -

CoreWeave enjoys exceptional multi-year revenue visibility.

The company's vertical integration strategy is giving it higher control and pricing power.

Although it's a high-risk stock, it may soar dramatically in the next couple of years.

10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave ›

Shares of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure player CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) have gained over 231% so far in 2025. However, the company's growth story is far from over.

According to McKinsey & Company, global demand for data center capacity is expected to rise by nearly 2.7 times from 82 gigawatts in 2025 to 219 gigawatts in 2030. Of this, compute capacity needed for AI workloads is estimated to grow almost 3.5 times from 44 gigawatts in 2025 to 156 gigawatts in 2030. CoreWeave's purpose-built high-performance cloud capacity stands to benefit dramatically from this trend.

Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks »

Here's why there's a good chance this growth stock triples over the next two years and becomes a top stock by the end of 2027.

Capacity expansion and multiple billion-dollar partnerships

CoreWeave is focused on capacity expansions and strategic partnerships to ensure multi-year revenue visibility. The company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2025 (ending June 30, 2025) with 470 megawatts of active data center capacity. The company also expanded the contracted data center capacity from 600 megawatts to 2.2 gigawatts to expand its data center infrastructure. The company expects to expand data center capacity to 900 megawatts by the end of 2025.

CoreWeave had a revenue backlog of $30.1 billion at the end of the second quarter, a dramatic improvement from $4 billion in the same quarter of the prior year. This order book included the multi-year GPU capacity deal with OpenAI and new expansion contracts with its two hyperscaler customers. Many enterprise clients and AI labs are also expanding their capacity commitments.

CoreWeave is also a significant beneficiary of Microsoft's $13 billion investment in neocloud providers (next-generation cloud infrastructure purpose-built for AI and high-performance computing workloads), along with Nscale and Lambda. Microsoft accounted for 71% of the company's revenues in the second quarter.

Recently, CoreWeave has been focusing on diversifying its revenue base. The company expanded its compute capacity deal with OpenAI by almost $6.5 billion, bringing its total contract value to $22.4 billion.

The company has also signed a $14.2 billion deal with Meta Platforms to supply compute capacity through Dec. 14, 2031. CoreWeave has signed a $6.3 billion deal with Nvidia, which guarantees that the latter will purchase any sold compute capacity through April 13, 2032. This has significantly reduced the company's downside risk associated with unused data center inventory.

Vertical integration strategy

CoreWeave is pursuing a vertical integration strategy to strengthen its hardware and software offerings. On the hardware side, the proposed $9 billion all-stock acquisition of Core Scientific can add the latter's 1.3 gigawatts of contracted and future data center capacity to CoreWeave's portfolio, with room for adding over 1 gigawatt of data center capacity in the U.S.

If completed, the deal is also expected to eliminate $10 billion of lease liabilities to be paid over next 12 years. While the acquisition will dramatically expand CoreWeave's available compute capacity, the ongoing disapproval among some of Core Scientific's shareholders, has created uncertainty around the deal.

CoreWeave has also strengthened its software stack by acquiring Weights & Biases, an AI developer platform, in May 2025. The deal has added 1,600 new clients to CoreWeave's customer base. The acquisition has enabled CoreWeave to offer an integrated observability feature within its cloud platform. Hence, it is easier for clients to identify factors affecting the performance and reliability of the AI workloads running on CoreWeave's data centers.

Software stack

CoreWeave's differentiated software stack, built atop its GPU infrastructure, is helping improve margins and create a sticky customer base. In October 2025, the company launched Serverless RL, the first publicly available and fully managed reinforcement learning capability. This new service will enable organizations to improve AI agents with reinforcement learning, without investing in costly hardware and software infrastructure and deep expertise. Customers also pay based only on their usage, which makes it cheaper and easier for clients to opt for this service. This new service can add recurring revenue streams in the coming quarters.

CoreWeave is also improving its platform with software tools such as Mission Control and SUNK (Slurm on Kubernetes). These tools enable clients to run and monitor workloads on CoreWeave's platform easily. The ease of use further translates into higher customer loyalty.

Valuation

CoreWeave is currently trading at 18.7 times sales, which may seem high for an unprofitable company. However, the valuation can be justified considering its huge market opportunity and exceptional multi-year revenue visibility.

Analysts expect the company's revenues to soar from a projected $5.27 billion in fiscal 2025 to $18.09 billion by the end of fiscal 2027. MoffettNathanson analyst Nick Del Deo has projected an even faster revenue growth trajectory for the company, with revenues reaching in the $25 billion range by 2028. If the company actually achieves such rapid growth, you may not see any significant discount to its valuation from current levels.

Still assuming a 20% to 30% discount (to be more conservative), you can expect its price-to-sales multiple to fall to 13 times to 15 times. This translates into the market capitalization of $235.2 billion to $271.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2027, up 3.5 times to 4.1 times its current market capitalization of around $66 billion.

CoreWeave faces several challenges, including customer concentration risk, increased competition from hyperscalers, and funding risk. Hence, investors can manage the downside of this high-risk, high-reward stock by opting for a dollar-cost averaging strategy and gradually building a position.

Should you invest $1,000 in CoreWeave right now?

Before you buy stock in CoreWeave, consider this:

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and CoreWeave wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $587,288!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,243,688!*

Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,055% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 194% for the S&P 500. Don't miss out on the latest top 10 list, available when you join Stock Advisor.

Get ready for a drive down memory lane.

In the debut episode of *EW's BINGE: The Fast Saga*, Vin Diesel looked back on 2001's *The Fast* *and the Furious*, from his initial hesitation about signing on to his bond with late costar Paul Walker. But the actor-producer also teased the original film's connection to the upcoming (and space-bound) *F9*.

"The whole world has this excitement about this movie coming out, but for those who have been with the franchise, it's even more special," Diesel told hosts Derek Lawrence and Chanelle Berlin Johnson. "Because if you can remember the first movie, you are now going to go before the first movie and understand the first movie even more. That's cool. I'm a *D&D* head, so that's like origin stuff. So to see family members you never thought you would have seen, it's gonna kind of blow your mind. We've been wanting to know, where was Dom before he became Dom? Who were his influences? That's going to be really rich with story, and a lot of fun to see."

Everett Collection; Universal Pictures

But the future teasing didn't stop there! While *F9* is finally coming out June 25, Universal has already commissioned two more films from director Justin Lin to wrap up the billion-dollar franchise. "Just wait for 10," says Diesel. "Let's just say, the fact that you guys know that the studio is saying we can't cover all this ground that needs to be covered in just one movie, you can only imagine what is to come."

Rosé's confidence never snapped across *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 13, but the Scottish lass' dainty, delicate ankles that carried her through to the finale ultimately buckled after a spin with Denali.

"It was over three months ago, now. I was actually dancing with Denali, and I tripped and landed on my foot the wrong way. It really f---ed me!" Rosé says in the latest episode of *EW's BINGE* podcast (below, and on Spotify now) about the final lip-sync against Kandy Muse that sent her home. "My physical therapist and I thought it was going to be a couple of weeks, but the injury just never got better because it was sprained in a stiletto, and the position of being in high heels is just really traumatic."

The New York City queen first revealed the injury in a discussion with RuPaul on Friday's season 13 closer, but competed against Kandy in a Britney Spears-themed lip-sync smackdown despite the pain after telling the Emmy-winning host that "nothing" could stop her from vying for the crown.

She was ultimately sent home as a runner-up, and says her foot still hasn't fully healed.

"I'm almost better, but that finale was the first time that I was able to get on a real pair of heels. My looks for the ball, we were constantly redesigning, stressing out if I could wear heels at all," she explains. "It was stressful and I definitely think it impacted my journey. To be honest, when RuPaul was like, 'Rosé, this is not your time,' I was like, 'No s---, bitch!'" This has been f---ing crazy! I had to learn how to walk again! But, I'm so proud of what happened and I wouldn't change it. It's all good."

How Much Every American Would Get If Jeff Bezos' Wealth Was Evenly Distributed Caitlyn MoorheadNovember 1, 2025 at 6:00 AM 8 James Veysey / Shutterstock.com It's no secret that Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon in 1994, is one of the richest men in the world and a very active member of the billiondollar oligarch club. In fact, he tends to hover in the top five wealthiest humans on the planet, after Elon Musk and in the company of Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Larry Ellison and Warren Buffett.

It's no secret that Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon in 1994, is one of the richest men in the world and a very active member of the billion-dollar oligarch club. In fact, he tends to hover in the top five wealthiest humans on the planet, after Elon Musk and in the company of Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Larry Ellison and Warren Buffett.

Consider This: If Mark Zuckerberg's Wealth Were Evenly Distributed Across America, How Much Money Would Every Person Get?

But what if one day, Bezos decided to dismantle his empire and liquidate his assets to give everyone in the United States an equal share? GOBankingRates is checking the math to see how much money every American would have if every citizen got a piece of Bezos' wealth.

Trending Now: Suze Orman's Secret to a Wealthy Retirement--Have You Made This Money Move?

The Number of People in the US

Based on the U.S. Census Bureau's tracking and data, the total American population is at 340.1 million as of October 2025. The numbers show that about one American is born every 9 seconds while another one dies about every eleven seconds, so the rate of growth and loss are fairly in step with one another.

Theoretically, each of these people would receive an equal share of Bezos' fortune in a perfect world under ideal circumstances. In the real world, that could prove to be a Herculean task; however, for the sake of experimentation, everyone accounted for in the population will receive the same amount of Bezos' wealth at the same time on the same day.

Trending Now: I Asked ChatGPT What Would Happen If Billionaires Paid Taxes at the Same Rate as the Middle Class

The Amount of Money

Currently, Bezos is ranked the fourth richest person in the world with a net worth estimated around $234 billion. He is also considered to be one of the few people to be included in the $100 Billion Club.

Using that figure and dividing it by the population of America, each person in the country would receive a sum in the range of $688. While that might not be a lot of money to some in the current economy, it would act similarly to a stimulus check or perhaps a holiday bonus.

What It Takes To Earn Bezos' Wealth

Bezos started from fairly humble beginnings and is now one of the richest people in the world. It might sound impossible to ever reach a salary that could cultivate wealth like Bezos' in the long term, but it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility if you build for the future and not just for today.

"Bezos doesn't make decisions based on what looks good this quarter; he's thinking in five, 10, sometimes even 20-year timelines," said Jamie Wall, a personal finance strategist at Gamblizard. "Amazon didn't turn a profit until 2003, nearly a decade after it launched and seven years after going public."

"For regular people, this means not basing every financial or career decision on short-term wins," Wall concluded. "Gaining wealth isn't a sprint, it's a marathon."
