When Netflix announced that Christina Ricci
would be appearing in the first season of Tim Burton’s Wednesday
series, some fans hoped that she would be taking on the role of Morticia, the mother of the titular character she played in two movies in the 1990s. However, in a new interview with Variety, Ricci indirectly addressed a reason why that was probably never an option for her.
When asked about which roles she would like to play that she hasn’t already, the Yellowjackets star segued into a role that she doesn’t want to take on in a movie or series: a mother. She told the publication:
“I’ve always said that I wanna play a mute [laughs]. If you don’t have to talk on camera, that’s my favorite thing. … I don’t really ever wanna play a mother on camera. I guess maybe the way I feel about motherhood is to me so personal and precious, and I don’t ever wanna exploit it, if that sounds right. I think it’s easier to use emotions that you’re having way after the fact, and right now being a mom and being in it and having so many feelings about it, I feel like it would be too much to actually do anything. You know, like I’ve read scripts about moms and sick kids. For me, it’s just like too raw.”
