Cynthia Erivo has hit out at fans who digitally altered her image in the poster for movie musical Wicked, saying: “It degrades me.”
The official poster for the upcoming film was released last week, showing Erivo in character as Elphaba looking directly at the camera.
The Instagram account @wickedmexicofans was one of many fan accounts to post an edited version of the film poster that more closely resembled the illustration.
“Our poster is an homage not an imitation, to edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me.
