Jenna Ortega plays the titular character Wednesday in the Netflix series based on the Charles Addams cartoons. Ortega follows in the footsteps of Christina Ricci who portrayed the character in 1991…
“Our show has superpowers and outcasts and evil ghost pilgrims,” she added. “So they’re two very different people our Wednesdays, I think. Our characters in the show are polar opposites. They have a sweet little relationship.”
In the same interview, Ortega told Myers that she “felt a lot of pressure to do it right” because Wednesday is “such a beloved character.” “I’ve never played someone who’s been done before. So I think that that was a really interesting thing for me,” she said. “I have a lot of respect for the character, we’ve never spent as much time with Wednesday on camera before, I think there’s gonna be some more depth or some more emotional range that we haven’t really seen from her before.”
