Cynthia Erivo Slams 'Wicked' Poster Edits & AI: 'Most Offensive Thing I Have Seen'

Cynthia Erivo is not happy with Wicked fan edis.

The 37-year-old actress, who plays Elphaba in the upcoming film adaptation, shared a post on her Instagram Story calling out Photoshop tweaks to the movie’s poster, which is a take on the original Broadway poster, including Elphaba’s hat being lowered and her lips getting a bolder red color to match the original poster.

In addition to the poster, she called out the viral AI-created video that featured the poster morphing into a fight between herself and co-star Ariana Grande, as well as the infamous “is your p—- green?” memes that have been around since the musical.

“This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen equal to that awful AI of us fighting, equal to people posing the the question ‘is your p—- green?’” she wrote.

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us.”

“The original poster is an Illustration,” she added. “I am a real life human being, who chose to to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer …because, without words we communicate with our eyes. 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.”

These 4 Stars Auditioned to Play Glinda in 'Wicked' Movie, But Ariana Grande Landed the Role Instead

Ariana Grande is playing the role of Glinda in the upcoming Wicked movies and she beat out a lot of actresses for the coveted part.

Four stars have confirmed that they auditioned to play Glinda in Wicked, though we’re pretty sure there were dozens of others who were up for the role as well.

“I think one of the most overlooked facts of the #WickedMovie Casting was that EVERYONE HAD to audition. NO straight offers & they showed up! It was incredibly humbling to witness these actors spill their guts on the floor for this movie,” Jon revealed last year. “Cynthia and Ariana EARNED their roles and brought our little audition room to tears multiple times throughout the process. I can’t believe I had the privilege of witnessing the birth of their Elphaba and Galinda. And one day you will too!!”

Tickets are on sale NOW for Wicked, which will be released in theaters on November 22. The second part will be in theaters in November 2025. Find out why the movie is being split into two parts.
