Michelle Williams as the “good” sister of Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis? Triple f*ckin’ heaven!

Variety reports Williams (right, below) is in final negotiations to star as Glinda, the Good Witch of the East in Sam Raimi’s OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. If she inks a deal, Williams will join the aforementioned Weisz and Kunis, as well as the ubiquitous James Franco. Filming is slated to begin this July in Michigan.

Williams’ character would team up with snake oil salesman James Franco to face off against her evil sisters, played by Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis, in a power struggle for control of the magical land of Oz.

Weisz will play Evanora, a powerful, evil witch who intends to rule the land. She is the sister of Theadora (Kunis) and tries to seduce her to the dark side.

No release date has been set by Disney yet, but word is the film may be ready as soon as the fall of next year. Natalie Gal (FAST FIVE, VAMPS) is also listed as a cast member.
