With the most recent release of the blockbuster hit Wicked, many critics and audiences are applauding it for its widely decorated and diverse cast. Throughout film history, minorities have always struggled to be cast in main roles as well as roles that aren’t diminutive or require them to become a “token” character. Despite this, Wicked has cast a largely queer, diverse, and representative group of actors that have allowed many fans to feel seen and heard on the big screen.
