I have a confession – I'm a musical fan. Ever since I heard Cynthia Erivo hitting that closing high note in Defying Gravity, I've been highly anticipating Wicked's sequel, Wicked: For Good. I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when the official poster dropped earlier this week, but I'm sad to say, first impressions weren't so sparkling. I can't help but feel that the design has misplaced the film's magic, and it seems I'm not alone.
The original Broadway design remains one of the most iconic poster designs of all time, so when the original Wicked film poster design controversy rocked the internet, I wasn't surprised. It's a tough act to follow, but naively, I'd hoped the marketing team would've learned from their mistakes. If heated fan backlash is anything to go by, the new poster design isn't nearly as popular as they'd anticipated.
