The actress starred in the original Broadway production as Glinda, a rival of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard Of Oz.
She told Moviehole: "You know, there will be a movie. But I believe - and I could be wrong, but I believe it will be years before we see it as a movie, because - you know, Universal will really want to make sure that they suck it dry, so to speak, in all the theatres."
She also confessed that her chances of reprising her role as Glinda are slimming as the years pass.
"If you look at movies like Chicago and Phantom Of The Opera, those were 20, 25 years after the fact," she explained. "And I could see, definitely, me playing Madame Morrible at that point. But I hope they really do it soon, so that I'm young enough to play Glinda.''
Chenoweth can currently be seen in festive rom-com Four Christmases.
