There is a petition on Change.org to keep James Corden from being cast in the upcoming Wicked movie. This petition has over 100,000 signatures. Can you even imagine that?! This actor's reputation for coming along and ruining movie musicals is so great that fans are protesting his casting before it's even happening now.

It's tough to pinpoint where things went wrong with Corden. At first, the guy was a likeable and relatable comedy actor, making a name for himself as one of the most endearing British stars thanks to his roles in The History Boys, Starter for Ten, and, of course, Gavin & Stacey (which he created alongside Ruth Jones).

But, as Hollywood came a-calling, this sense of the everyman slowly stripped away, replaced by an unfunny and generic comedian who relies on the same gags and tricks in all his projects.

Plenty of people out there still hold a modicum of love for James Corden in their hearts in memory of Gavin & Stacey, but sadly for them, those days of the loveable Smithy are long gone.
