The highly anticipated Netflix series, “Wednesday,” is gearing up for an exciting Season 3 with a star-studded lineup of guest appearances. After the jaw-dropping cameo by Lady Gaga in Season 2, fans are eager to see how the show will top such a memorable moment. According to Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia on the series, the answer lies in the casting of Danny DeVito.
Zeta-Jones revealed that DeVito, a longtime friend of her husband Michael Douglas, has not yet been cast on the show. During a recent FYC event at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Hollywood, Zeta-Jones expressed her disbelief, saying, “I don’t know how Danny DeVito hasn’t been cast already.” She even joked about the possibility of DeVito taking on the role of Cousin It, saying, “Imagine Danny DeVito as Cousin It? That’d be so cool.”
Despite her excitement about DeVito potentially joining the cast, Zeta-Jones acknowledged that she may have to do some convincing. She humorously shared, “He’s gonna kill me for that. He’s like, ‘Yeah, they’re going to cast me and put hair all over my face. Thanks for suggesting that, Catherine.’”
Reflecting on the surprise appearance of Lady Gaga in Season 2, Zeta-Jones admitted that she was just as shocked as everyone else. She kept the news a secret from her family until the official announcement, leading to some playful teasing from her loved ones. Zeta-Jones gushed about Gaga, describing her as a “generational talent” and expressing her desire to collaborate with her again in the future.
As production gears up for Season 3, Zeta-Jones is eager to delve deeper into Morticia’s storyline. She hopes to explore the character’s dynamic with her mother, played by Joanna Lumley, and how it impacts her relationship with Wednesday. Zeta-Jones teased, “I hope that Wednesday snaps out of it next season. It’s like enough already. She can’t demonize her mother anymore.”
With the promise of more exciting guest appearances and captivating storylines on the horizon, fans of “Wednesday” have plenty to look forward to in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates as the cast and crew reunite to bring the dark and mysterious world of the Addams family to life once again.
