Can you believe it? There's a petition to keep James Corden out of the 'Wicked' movie
Are you a James Corden fan or not so much?
As much as it may be true that some people are just born performers, sometimes it takes some crafting when it comes to perfecting your talent. Perhaps this is the case when it comes to James Corden?
Of course, we appreciate his talent, his ability to bring the funny in as well as his creative approach to things such as Carpool Karaoke, which was responsible for a multitude of followers trying to play catch up.

But it seems that his fan base is lacking when it comes to playing a role in the movie, 'Wicked'. A petition that has garnered 35,000 signatures thus far is making its rounds on social media. The petition is a request to Universal Studios, asking them, or should we say pleading with them, not to allow James Corden near the movie.
"The petition, which currently already has over 35,000 signees of a 50,000 signature goal, simply states “James Corden in no way shape or form should be in or near the production of Wicked the movie. That’s pretty much it.”" (Out)

"Corden’s performances in recent musicals have been some of the worst-reviewed of any actor in the 21st century. In Cats, he ruined a song celebrating how much everyone loves fat cats by making fat jokes and looking into the camera as he said the word “cats.” (Out)
Not that we are proclaiming to be experts, but it takes a certain sort of finesse to be a part of a musical, and making jokes has to be done in a tasteful and appropriate manner. Sometimes you've just got to accept that not everything is for you. Clearly the crowd is voting a big 'NO' when it comes to James, musicals, and movies of this genre.
