Steve Buscemi Talks Jenna Ortega Reunion, The 6-Words He Said About Working With Her

I think ‘Wednesday’ fans are tired of waiting by now, but hang in there, the wait is almost over. In the first season of the Netflix hit movie, we were introduced to a fearless creepy girl in the name of Wednesday Addams, who, despite her tense relationship with Nevermore’s Principal Weems, would no doubt miss her presence.

She died at the hands of someone we thought was so dear and special. Well, turns out we were mistaken.

However, in this upcoming season, Nevermore’s getting a new principal – set to be played by Steve Buscemi – and knowing just how much Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday hates authority figures, we can already tell their relationship is going to be like glass and sandpaper.

As we wait for the main event, let’s explore the side dishes and talk about what Buscemi recently said about the project.

Steve Buscemi Opens Up About Joining Netflix Show “Wednesday’

Steve Buscemi is joining Tim Burton for another round of teen goth drama that’s likely to be filled with sharp witticisms, dark inner thoughts, and spooky adventures.

According to Ortega, ‘Wednesday’ is still going to be ‘Wednesday,’ but with more horror. Are you even buckled on tight for this?

Well, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Buscemi talked about his participation in the highly anticipated season 2. “I loved working working with Jenna.”

“I had worked with her earlier in the year on Klara and the Sun in New Zealand so I got to know her a little bit before then working with her on Wednesday. It was a really fun set. We shot it in Dublin. It doesn’t take place in Ireland, but that’s where we were shooting for months and months. It was a wonderful place to live and work.“

He continued: “I also got to work with Tim Burton again. It had been over 20 years since we did Big Fish together. I’m such a huge fan of his and the way he works, his energy, the way he sees the world. I also got to work with the rest of the cast, too, because I have some scenes with all of the Addams family and my character. I’ve been a big fan of The Addams Family since I was a kid so it was surreal and very exciting. It was a really, really fun experience.”
