It nearly always happens these days. You’re watching a trailer for an upcoming blockbuster musical adaptation, then boom: James Corden shows up in some goofy way and does what James Corden does. In the last few years, The Late Late Show host has snagged featured roles in Ryan Murphy’s The Prom, Into The Woods, Amazon’s Cinderella, and most notably the absolutely cursed adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats.
With recent cast announcements made for the upcoming live-action Wicked feature, someone wanted to get ahead of the problem and created a Change.org petition that calls to “Keep James Corden out of Wicked the movie.”
