Jenna Ortega was predicted to play Wednesday 6 years ago: From name to background, it's a strange coincidence

Wednesday is a feature-length film project that is "storming" the screen, and at the same time bringing the name of the female lead Jenna Ortega to new heights. But this name Wednesday - Wednesday has more coincidences, more predestined for Ortega than just a cult role.

For Jenna Ortega, this is actually not her first time playing Wednesday. To be more precise, this is the second time that this 10X beauty has shown a character named Wednesday. Back in 2016, Jenna Ortega had the opportunity to become a member of Disney, starring in the long-running series Stuck in the Middle.

In the film, she plays Harley Diaz - the "middle" child in a large family with 7 children. That means that Harley is the fourth child of the Diaz family.

Not stopping there, Harley Diaz often feels self-deprecating as the middle child, not as mature as her siblings but not as small as her younger siblings. She calls herself "Wednesday", and this name is called by her friends at school instead of Harley. "If my whole family represents 1 week, I'm sure Wednesday (Wednesday)," she confesses in the film. In addition, she is also nicknamed "Hump Day Harley", ie "Humpback day Harley" - a phrase referring to Wednesday of the office world, which is also the day that anyone wants to pass quickly. to the weekend.

Harley Diaz also faced many difficulties at school: fear of being forgotten, isolated, different personality and interests (like to build and dream of going to Mars). But gradually, she gained many sincere friends due to her uniqueness. In addition, Harley also realizes that her family loves her more than she thought, and that "being Wednesday" isn't that bad.

After 6 years, Jenna Ortega now has a second chance to be Wednesday, but Wednesday Addams . Wednesday Addams has some similarities with the old Humpback Day Harley: has a fate associated with Wednesday, has an unusual personality and interests, but is actually an interesting person. Even recently, when Wednesday was a favorite movie, Disney re-uploaded the excerpt of Harley identifying herself as Wednesday in Stuck in the Middle as a way of nostalgia, tribute to the old role.

According to the sharing of the Wednesday crew, Jenna Ortega was and still is the number 1 choice for this role of "sister Tu". In an interview, Ortega shared the casting process "with a 1-0-2" between her and great director Tim Burton through an online form. At that time Ortega was filming a rather sloppy scene, looking like a corpse on the set of the horror movie X. Because of fear of being late for the audition, Ortega kept the status quo to participate, startling Tim Burton.

But thanks to this impressive appearance, the star born in 2002 received the main role of Wednesday.

As can be seen, Wednesday is a TV series that has a global spread. The film was warmly welcomed by the audience and critics. In particular, what makes the audience excited with Wednesday Addams is that she always keeps a cold, emotionless face and never sheds tears like other girls of the same age.

However, in fact, Wednesday Addams only cried once in the whole movie, when she thought that Uncle Fester could not save her friend, the monstrous hand Thing after it accidentally collided. Nevermore Academy dorm room wall.

"It was also a really important moment in Wednesday. I think that was the only time the audience really saw her cry," - actress Jenna Ortega shared.

The scene where Wednesday was in tears when Fester miraculously saved Thing touched the audience. Jenna herself also revealed that this is a very meaningful scene for this character when for the first time viewers see Wednesday venting her emotions instead of remaining emotionless and cold as before.

Along with that, the different friendship between the eccentric Wednesday Addams girl and the "5-fingered best friend" Thing became a factor that attracted the audience to continue watching this series of fiction, horror and comedy.
