Trivia: Before release, the film became symbolic of a strange issue for cinema-goers, with many cinemas stating that singing along with the film wasn't allowed as it's disruptive to other people who came to watch the movie. "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo and action-movie star Dwayne Johnson stated that they support singing along with movies, drawing extremely mixed responses, with some praising them, but many more harshly criticizing them for supporting behaviour that could be seen as extremely rude.
Trivia: A fan created a poster of this film emulating the design of the musical's iconic poster. Upon seeing this image, Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, bizarrely called it the most offensive thing she had ever seen.
