During a recent interview with People, Christina Ricci gushed about Jenna Ortega’s involvement as Wednesday Addams in the new Netflix series. “I saw some of the wardrobe photos before I went [to set] so I knew [what she looked like in character] and I was like, it’s such a great modern take on Wednesday,” she told the outlet. The “Yellowjackets” star also described the Ortega as “incredible” as she watched her closely during filming. “It’s so true tonally to the heart and soul of [the original], but it’s then it’s incredibly modern and it’s great,” Ricci added.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Netflix did a grand reveal of Ortega as Wednesday Addams and viewers became excited about the rising actor’s upcoming performance in the series. Unlike the past remakes, this particular spin-off will primarily focus on the life of Wednesday and will dig deeper into her as an individual, per DigitalSpy.
“She’s already been played to perfection in the past so there’s nothing I can do to better,” Ortega told Extra. “I’ve really worked on not ripping anybody off and kind of creating my own thing.” While the “You” actor is working on creating her own legacy with Wednesday, fans were also stoked to find out that Ricci is also going to be a series regular.
