Jenna Ortega will soon be playing the incredibly popular Wednesday Addams, but how does she compare to Christina Ricci’s Wednesday from the movies?
A first look at Wednesday, the new Addams Family show, was just released, giving a glimpse at Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams, who Christina Ricci most famously played. With the series having been around for ages, Ortega is only the most recent entry in a long line of actors that have played Wednesday Addams. However, since Wednesday is a live-action Addams Family series, it is impossible not to compare Ortega’s Wednesday with Ricci’s performance as Wednesday in the 1991 Addams Family movie series.
The Addams Family is a long-running franchise that follows the titular macabre family on their various misadventures. The family has appeared across all kinds of mediums, from movies to television to comics to animated series. The 1991 film series is one of The Addams Family‘s more famous series, defining the character’s modern incarnations. Although not much is known about Wednesday, a teaser trailer has just dropped, giving the first hints of what the newest Addams Family series may look like.
