Aubrey Plaza is known for her prominent work in The White Lotus, Safety Not Guaranteed, and Child’s Play among several others. Being one of the influential actresses in the Hollywood industry, many of her fans want her to work on some of the successful projects including the 2022 hit series, Wednesday.
The actress has tried on several roles that established her as a successful artist. Last year, she shared about eagerly taking on the adult version of Wednesday Addams.
Aubrey Plaza Opened Up About Playing A Different Wednesday Addams’ Version
The 38-year-old actress, Aubrey Plaza in a 2022 GQ interview responded to a fan’s suggestion who gushed about how she would be the “first pick” if she were to play an adult version of the famous character, Wednesday Addams.
However, this condition would only work if Christina Ricci would be unavailable for the role. For the unversed, Ricci played the iconic role in the 1990s film, hence if, in the future, an adult character would be required, she would be the fittest for the role as per her fans.
She responded by declaring her love for the character as well as Ricci however she mentioned,
“I’m more in the Morticia casting pool at this point.”
Morticia is the protagonist’s mother who has quite an influence on the fan-favorite character. Here, she wanted to state the fact that she might not be a good actress to play the youthful Wednesday’s role however she recommended her version.
“But if they did, like, a newly divorced Wednesday going on a wellness retreat in Arizona.”
She further added about pitching for a film if her version is taken into consideration.
Wednesday is Renewed for a Second Season!
The Netflix series featured Jenna Ortega as the titular character who instantly won fans’ hearts with her ruthless yet kind character. The torture queen had a major development as the first season ended. While many were anticipating what may come next for her, the OTT platform has already announced continuing the series for a second season.
Back in January this year, showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar shared,
“We can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore. Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first.”
While fans are eagerly waiting to watch the spooky life of the Addams family, Tim Burton’s first directorial debut project is streaming on Netflix.
