Cynthia Erivo, the talented actress set to star in the highly anticipated movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Wicked, has found herself at the center of a heated controversy after a fan-edited film poster surfaced online. The poster, which bears a striking resemblance to the original poster for the Broadway show, has been making waves on social media - but not for the reasons the creators might have hoped.
The edited poster, which has been widely shared across various platforms, takes creative liberties with the original design, incorporating what appears to be a hastily Photoshopped image of Erivo, alongside her co-star Ariana Grande. However, it's not the placement or overall design of the poster that has sparked Erivo's ire - it's the astonishingly poor editing job that has left the actress, quite literally, seeing red.
Upon closer inspection, fans have pointed out that the edited version of the poster has seen Erivo's eyes inexplicably removed, leaving her with a somewhat eerie and disembodied appearance. The glaring omission has left Erivo herself fuming, with many taking to social media to express their own outrage and disgust at the mishap.
Erivo, known for her powerful and emotive performances on stage and screen, has been a longtime advocate for greater diversity and representation within the entertainment industry. As such, it's little surprise that the mangled poster has left her feeling frustrated and disheartened - not just on a personal level, but also as a wider commentary on the often-lacking attention to detail afforded to performers of color.
The Wicked movie, which is set to hit theaters next month, has been generating significant buzz among fans of the original musical. With a star-studded cast, including Erivo and Grande as the lead protagonists, expectations are running high - and it's clear that the cast and crew will be under intense scrutiny as the release date approaches.
As for the fan who created the poster, their identity remains unknown. However, it's clear that their well-intentioned but hapless attempt at editing has backfired spectacularly - and has left Erivo, and many others, feeling less than enchanted.
