The unofficial movie poster is more in line with the Broadway show's poster.
Cynthia Erivo attends the red carpet ahead of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, July 26, 2024, in Paris.The Tony-winning actress shared the edited version of the poster to her Instagram story on Wednesday, a version of the forthcoming movie's poster that more closely resembles that of the iconic poster for the Broadway show.Notably, the Broadway show's poster hides the face of Elphaba, the green-skinned character Erivo plays in the film adaptation.
The original movie poster for the film"Wicked" appears on the left and an Instagram story shared by Cynthia Erivo containing an edited"Wicked" poster appears on the right."This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen, equal to that awful Ai of us fighting, equal to people posing the question 'is your ***** green,'" Erivo, 37, wrote alongside the edited image. "None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us.
In this June 10, 2017 file photo, a billboard promoting the Broadway play"Wicked" is viewed in Times Square in New York.Erivo concluded her post defending the official movie poster, "Our poster is an homage not an imitation, to edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me. And that is just deeply hurtful."
The Grammy-winning singer, in another Instagram story post, shared the movie's official poster and wrote, "Let me put this right here, to remind you and cleanse your palette 💚💚." In what appeared to be an act of solidarity, Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda in the film opposite Erivo, also shared the movie's official poster to her Instagram story after Erivo's posts went live. Chu also posted the film's official poster that Erivo had shared on his Instagram story, calling the actress "my superhero."
