Cynthia Erivo, starring as Elphaba in the upcoming Wicked film, has criticized fan-edited versions of the movie's poster, which resemble the traditional Broadway design. The new poster features Glinda whispering to Elphaba, but some fans felt it lacked the charm of the iconic stage version. They edited the poster to mimic the original, obscuring Elphaba's face. Erivo took to Instagram, calling the edits “offensive” and stating, “None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us.” She emphasized the difference between illustrations and real-life portrayal, saying, “Our poster is an homage not an imitation. To edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me.” The highly anticipated Wicked movie, starring Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, and Michelle Yeoh, is set to release on November 22. #Queer Up Entertainment
