Tens of thousands of people petition to keep James Corden out of 'Wicked'
So far more than 80,000 people have signed a petition addressed to Universal, and in this document they have asked this large company not to hire James Corden for the film "Wicked", writes CNN.
Although users of many social platforms have been openly criticizing James Corden for several months, calling him a "conceited Briton" and slamming his performances in Hollywood productions - for the first time a concrete step has been taken to let the actor and the film industry know what the public thinks about him.

Namely, a petition was launched on the Change.org page in which Universal is asked not to hire Corden in the movie "Wicked". In just over 24 hours, the petition was signed by just over 60,000 people. Currently, the number of signatures is over 80,000.
"James Corden in no way shape or form should be in or near the production of Wicked the movie," says a brief statement on the petition page.

The petition was launched immediately after the film’s producers announced that the roles in the movie adaptation of the famous Broadway musical have so far been given to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Corden has not yet responded to the petition.
