Wicked's recent film adaptation showcases improvement in the portrayal of disability through its casting and character development, moving beyond outdated stereotypes and towards inclusivity.
By casting Marissa Bode, a wheelchair user, as Nessarose, Wicked achieves a significant milestone in representation and offers a more nuanced perspective on disability.
The film’s narrative adjustments depict Nessarose as an empowered character, rather than solely a plot device, allowing for a more complex relationship with Elphaba.
Significant changes in character arcs reflect a broader commitment to inclusion, as Elphaba's motivations are redefined away from solely caring for a disabled sister.
