From lush black bangs to ghostly pallor: Tim Burton's Wednesday Addams is the NEW Goth Queen of the screen
The iconic Addams Family is back although it does not have Anjelica Huston as Morticia Addams. Although, Netflix does have someone for the younger generation. Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series, 'Wednesday.' In the early 2000s, we had 'The Craft', and 'The Crow', but we have not had a young, female gothic character who leads a show for almost two decades. Previously, Ortega was seen in 'You' playing the role of Ellie Alves, who is one of the main characters from the second season, nonetheless, she is back on Netflix again but for a much darker role. From her lush, black bangs to her ghostly pallor, Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams is a teen goth queen.
However, during a recent interview, Ortega confessed how she was weird as a kid and liked to do autopsies on dead small animals and insects. It seems like she was always meant to play Wednesday Addams, as the reel character is quite similar to this. 'The Addams Family' alumni Nina Ricci (who played Wednesday Addams back in the 90s) is also in the new Netflix series but in a different role obviously.
