For What It’s Worth, Christina Ricci is Totally Up for an ‘Addams Family’ Return
The ensemble cast for Sausage Party director Conrad Vernon’s animated Addams Family film was recently announced, with Chloe Grace Moretz voicing Wednesday Addams. Of course, it was Christina Ricci who made Wednesday such a beloved character in the two early ’90s live-action films, and Ricci was just asked if she’d ever be up for returning to that world.
In a chat with Cinema Blend, Ricci noted that yes, she’d love to.
“I would totally get back in bed with the Addams Family anytime,” Ricci told the site.
As cool as it would’ve been for Ricci to have provided a voice in the upcoming animated film, we’d love it even more to see her back in the fold in a future live action version of the Addams Family. Many fans over the years have suggested that she’d make a great Morticia Addams, which would of course be fantastic to see. An adult Wednesday would also be a blast.
For now, it’s at least good to know that she’d be up for it, if asked!
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
