Wicked fans all make same complaint about trailer shown just before movie starts

Wicked fans all make same complaint about trailer shown just before movie starts

Fans watching Wicked are all thinking the same thing

Wicked fans are being thrown off by one trailer that plays before the film starts, as a celebrity makes a bizarre appearance.

It's safe to say that Wicked has a lot of unexpected twists and turns that didn't feature in the original Broadway musical.

Both Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have noted that there are 'easter eggs' running through the film that eagle-eyed fans should be looking for.

But fans are having issues with one trailer that plays before the film starts in the cinema, leaving them all thinking the same thing.

Before the highly-anticipated musical begins, a trailer for Robbie Williams' new biopic Better Man plays - but it's not an ordinary depiction of the singer.

Fan confusion is rife, after the decision was made for Williams to be played by Jonno Davies, portrayed as a CGI monkey.

Yes, you did read that correctly.

It was director Michael Gracey’s idea to have the star be depicted as a monkey, although quite an unusual one.

However, it's causing some real confusion for those going to see Wicked.

Throughout the film, multiple monkeys appear - although they are winged, as this is Oz after all.

But having just seen Williams as an ape, it's safe to say viewers are distracted.

One person said: "When you first see a monkey in the film, my wife and I both looked at each other and said 'it’s Robbie Williams' at the same time."

Another said: "My immediate thoughts during that scene were 'I didn’t know they cast Robbie Williams in Wicked'".

A third added: "Yes yes yes! I was thinking 'poor Robbie' when the wings were coming out."

Robbie addressed the unusual choice while chatting to the Metro at the film's European premiere.

He said: "I didn’t know that I’d have to explain it, but obviously [I do]!

"It’s unusual, right? That’s the thing."

The singer added: "I’m on the spectrum, so things that are unusual to me, aren’t that unusual – I don’t pick up on those sorts of cues.

"I don’t know where I am on the spectrum, by the way, I just know I am."

Addressing the fans, he stated: "It’s a monkey, get over it."

The star even admitted that it 'works better' than if it was him, which again, is a slightly peculiar take.

Talking about the film on the One Show, he added: "I don’t know if this film would be as talked about if it hadn’t had the monkey in it.

"And it does, and it has. And it all makes sense when you see it."
