Cynthia Erivo has expressed her discontent with a fan-edited poster for the upcoming 'Wicked' film adaptation, which obscures her character's eyes to mimic the iconic Broadway illustration. Erivo, who stars as Elphaba alongside Ariana Grande's Glinda, criticized the edits as offensive and degrading, equating them to other disrespectful memes and AI content. The original film poster, which Erivo describes as an homage rather than an imitation, intentionally showcases her eyes to communicate with the audience. The actress's reaction highlights the distinction between illustrated art and real-life portrayal, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of her representation. While some fans dismissed her response as overly sensitive, others supported her stance, acknowledging the dehumanizing effect of the altered image. The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, is set to release in November, marking a significant adaptation of the beloved stage production.
