Jenna Ortega wowed fans on the Thunder Stage. The “Wandinha” star performed beautifully in all black and enchanted the audience. Amused, she told what Wandinha would think of Brazil.

“Sure she would be a little shocked by all the human warmth, she’d be like a fish out of water,” he joked, since the character doesn’t mix much.

Additionally, Jenna shared how the experience starred on the show.

“It was very challenging because she’s already a popular character, she’s associated with other actresses, like Christina Ricci, my version is trying to place her in the current situation,” he explained.

Ortega also commented on the similarities between her and Wandinha.

“We are alike, she has a more acidic and sarcastic side that is identical to mine. I’m very surprised and happy about all this, to be able to do a series that is so much fun, that’s entertaining, that takes us out of this chaotic world, that’s really good. It’s a sidepicking mystery series, it’s really good.”

Pleased with the opportunity, the artist shared how she felt about winning the lead role.

“Playing Wandinha was never an opportunity for me, so it’s an honor to have this chance. Younger generations may even have a memory or two from the films, but I’m excited to bring the Addams Family universe to more people,” he concluded.
