Thus, Netflix confirmed that Portlandi ‘s star Fred Armisen will take part in the new production. Fans continue to have fond memories of Christopher Lloyd, who played Fester in Barry Sonnenfeld’s iconic films. Armisen will therefore have a real challenge to meet the expectations of the audience. With the confirmation of his participation, we already know all the actors who will play the famous Addams Family. They will be: Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Mortycja Addams), Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), and of course Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams) in the lead role. Equally key characters will be Victor Dorobantu (“Thing”, an anthropomorphic hand) and George Burcea (Lurch butler).
We never saw her as teenagers. You know, it’s fun and sweet and almost charming to hear an eight-year-old obsessed with murder and blood and guts. As he grows up with that nasty character and snappy remarks, it’s downright hard not to sound like your average teenager. So this is how we build a character and we want to give it the same spark, but not let it become someone it is not. Plus, it’s an eight-hour series about an emotionless character, so there has to be some emotional outline.
Ortega said about her role.
It is worth mentioning that Christina Ricci, who played the role of Wednesday in the classic films, will appear on the screen with Ortega.
