Cynthia Erivo Criticizes Fan-Made Edits of 'Wicked' Movie Poster

The actress calls the altered poster offensive and degrading, emphasizing her portrayal as a real-life homage rather than an imitation.

Erivo took to Instagram to express her disapproval of a fan-edited 'Wicked' poster that obscures her eyes and alters her appearance.
She argues that the edits erase her identity and degrade her, drawing a distinction between the movie's homage to the original Broadway poster and an imitation.
The original Broadway poster featured an illustration, while the movie poster shows Erivo's full face, a creative choice she defends.
Fans are divided over Erivo's reaction, with some supporting her stance and others viewing the edits as a harmless homage.
The controversy has sparked broader discussions about the boundaries of fan art and the impact of altering actors' images.
