“We have decided to lean a little more on the terrifying side of the series,” declares the actress
Jenna Ortega He has shown that he does not mince his words when it comes to expressing what did not convince him about the first season of ‘Wednesday’. In fact, this past March he even stated that “it did not make sense“the love triangle in which her character was involved and her complaint has not fallen on deaf ears, since she herself has revealed that there will be none of that in season 2.
“I didn’t want to mess up with her”
During his talk with Elle Fanning In an installment of Variety’s always interesting “Actors on Actors,” Jenna Ortega commented that “We’re getting rid of any romantic love interests by Wednesday, which it’s great“.
His great involvement in the project has surely been key to this, something he expressed in the following words:
“We had already tossed around a lot of ideas, and I’m a very practical person. I want to know what’s going on. And with a character like Wednesday, so beloved and so legendary, did not want to screw up with her. So I try to have as many conversations as possible.”
“On the set, with the writers and Tim Burton, we would all get together and decide, ‘Okay, what works and what doesn’t?’ Of course, it was already very collaborative, so in preparing for a second season, we wanted to get ahead of the curve and make sure we could start the conversations earlier. And I’m very curious to see the costumes, the characters, the scripts, and. They were kind enough to let me get involved as a producer.“
For my part, I am clear that this romantic triangle was what worked worst from the irregular first season of ‘Wednesday’, so I’m glad to know that it is something that they are going to completely leave aside in the new episodes. And it also gives me good vibes that Jenna Ortega promises the following:
“We have decided to lean a little more on the terrifying side of the series. Because it’s so light, a show like that with vampires and men and superpowers, you can’t take yourself too seriously.”
She herself is aware that In many jobs, actors are nothing more than puppets at the service of other people.but also that “The best experiences I have had, the jobs I am most proud of, have always been those in which I feel heard“.
