"I felt a lot of pressure to do it right because she's such a beloved character. "I felt immense pressure," Ortega said of tackling such a well-known persona. Our show has super-powers and outcasts and evil ghost Pilgrims, so they're two very different people, our Wednesdays, I think." For one, the sake of my own benefit, but two, I didn't want to rip her off and I didn't want to be too much like her. And then I felt like I didn't want to pull up something that she did 30 years ago. I don't think she wanted to get in the way of my performance or feel like she was overbearing. "I think because she knew not to say anything to me. "I think when she was on set, neither one of us said 'Wednesday' once to each other," she admitted during an MTV discussion with fellow co-star Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair). While Ortega enjoyed direct contact with an Addams Family OG on set, she never sought out advice on how to play the sullen character. With the show's first season now available to stream, we know that Ricci (currently making waves in breakout hit, Yellowjackets) plays the role of Marilyn Thornhill, an instructor at Nevermore, a boarding school attended by Jenna Ortega's fresh take on Wednesday, who, in this iteration, has been gifted with psychic powers. Christina Ricci's performance as Wednesday Addams in the pair of live-action Addams Family movies directed by Barry Sonnenfeld (released in 19) was so iconic, that there was no way Netflix could make a Wednesday-inspired television series without her.
