'Didn't want to rip her off': 'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega reveals why she didn't take Christina Ricci's help

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Addams Family' has always been a top-rated movie franchise, and their character being epic Halloween costumes makes it even more relevant to pop culture. Taking up a role that audiences are familiar with is a difficult thing to do while trying not to swerve too far from the source material or stay too close or the same to someone else’s interpretation. The previous iteration of the franchise stars Anjelica Huston, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance as Morticia Addams, Raul Julia as Gomez Addams, Christopher Lloyd as Fester Addams, and lastly Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams in the 1991's 'The Addams Family' movie.

However, this is what struck our newest Wednesday Addams, Jenna Ortega to not take any suggestion or advice from her cast mate and predecessor Christina Ricci in regards to playing the eldest daughter of 'The Addams Family', Wednesday Addams. Nevertheless, 'Wednesday' was released on Netflix on November 23, 2022, to generally positive reviews by critics, who praised Ortega's performance, but unfortunately criticized it for its similarities to CW dramas. Regardless, Ortega seems to be relieved for anyone not drawing any similarities to her enacting the character. Read more to find out what Ortega said.
