Cynthia Erivo says "Wicked" poster "deeply hurtful". Really??

[Anonymous]

This whole fuss really disappoints me. Cynthia Erivo is one of my favorite actresses, she is so talented. Really it comes down to something I've long held as a belief -

actors should never speak out, about anything at all, unless a talented script writer has prepared something for them in advance.

Agree.

She is at least 12 years too old for the part

Is she lying about her age? She looks much older than Ariana.

The play poster is intentionally generic because it isn't made to be changed every time a new actor is hired. The movie poster showed both actresses' faces because they're the stars of the show, and there won't be any substitutions. Hiding most of their faces does erase them and revert to just showcasing the idea of the character, which makes sense for Broadway but not for a movie.

She was hurt to be erased from a movie poster where she's the main character, and I don't think it's crazy to say that out loud since people were probably asking her about it. Her reaction certainly doesn't make her unintelligent, even if it does seem sensitive.

It was a FAN EDIT. What actor gets upset about a fan-made poster on the internet? I mean, what in the world.
