Even in a school of outcasts, Wednesday still stands out, but that doesn’t seem to bother her as she says in the trailer, “I act as if I don’t care if people dislike me. Deep down, I actually enjoy it.” As the two-minute trailer unfolds Wednesday muses, “Secret societies, hidden libraries, a homicidal monster, what other surprises are in store?”
Among the notable reveals in this latest teaser is Fred Armisen‘s role as Uncle Fester who appears to embark on an adventure with Wednesday. Meanwhile, a former Wednesday Addams herself, Christina Ricci, finally makes her first appearance, unveiling her role as Marilyn Thornhill, who appears to be on the staff at Nevermore Academy.
