These comments come after Erivo's objection to A.I. fan art.

The Pinocchio star plays Elphaba — aka the Wicked Witch of the West — in the upcoming film duology, the first installment of which hits theaters Nov. 22. Grande is locked in as Glinda the Good Witch, with Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang and Ethan Slater rounding out the cast.

Ariana Grande said the fan edits of the “Wicked” poster are “complicated,” after her co-star, Cynthia Erivo, called them “deeply hurtful.” “I find AI so conflicting and troublesome sometimes,” she told Variety on Saturday during the 2024 Academy Museum Gala.
