Following her very heated response to a fan edit of the “Wicked” poster earlier this month, star Cynthia Erivo noted this week that she “probably should’ve called my friends” instead of voicing her feelings publicly.

In case you missed it, a TikTok user under the name Ferlozar posted a video in mid-October, showing themself taking advantage of photoshop tools to make the Universal film poster more closely resemble the original poster that was used for the musical’s Playbills.

Additionally, they included on-screen text reading “Fixing the Wicked movie poster,” alongside a caption of “much better.” It has since been referred to as an AI poster, but it was indeed manipulated by hand.
