After the cultural phenomenon 'Barbenheimer' took over the summer of 2023, with 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' dominating the box office and social media, another epic movie mashup is brewing. Enter 'Glicked' – the unexpected combination of 'Gladiator 2' and 'Wicked' that has everyone buzzing. Could this new hybrid sensation sweep the world just like its predecessor? Social media is already filled with memes and excitement. Here's what you need to know!

You all probably remember the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon. Despite being two films with completely different stories, Barbie and Oppenheimer were released worldwide at the same time, and their names were combined, sparking a wave of internet memes.

Now, a similar situation is expected to occur between Gladiator 2 and Wicked. Directed by Ridley Scott and Jon M. Chu, these two films have already started to generate fan posts on social media.

The legendary witches of the Land of Oz and the epic story of Lucius, following in Maximus’s footsteps to become a legendary gladiator, have been combined into the term "Glicked." Even Gladiator 2 star Paul Mescal has described the emergence of this phenomenon as wonderful.

Ariana Grande, who stars in Wicked, is also pleased with the idea of "Glicked." The famous actress commented, "This is exactly what we should be doing."

What do you think about the emergence of the "Glicked" phenomenon after Barbenheimer? Do you think Gladiator 2 and Wicked can pull it off?
