Jenna Ortega plays the beloved character in Tim Burton’s new Netflix series “Wednesday,” and the 19-year-old actress explained how she wanted to make the character her own.

She’s already been played to perfection in the past so there’s nothing I can do to better,” she said, adding, “I’ve really worked on not ripping anybody off and kind of creating my own thing.

Jenna continued And the thing about this Wednesday is because it is an eight-hour-long series, we’ve never spent so much time with her before.

She’s always been the one-liner and, you know, the one-off. So it’s really interesting getting to know her to create more dimension to her as an individual but also giving an emotional arc for a character that doesn’t really have any emotion.
