  • Some have been saying Ariana Grande got paid more for 'Wicked' than her costar Cynthia Erivo, but the movie's studio is setting the record straight.

The article from CTV News debunks rumors about a pay disparity between Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande for their roles in the upcoming film adaptation of "Wicked." Speculation had arisen suggesting that Grande, who plays Glinda, was being paid significantly more than Erivo, who portrays Elphaba. However, sources close to the production have confirmed that both actresses are receiving equal pay for their starring roles. The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, is set to be released in two parts, with the first installment scheduled for November 27, 2024. The debunking of these rumors highlights the ongoing discussions about pay equity in Hollywood, especially concerning roles that might traditionally be seen as more or less central to the narrative.
