Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter on their podcast TV’s Top 5, Wednesday showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar discuss their upcoming show debut and its similarities with Smallville. Read showrunner Miles Millar’s comment below:
In terms of being ‘unemotional’, perhaps Millar meant to point out that Clark Kent could only prioritize others first. It is not to say he did not openly deal with struggles of his own. However, he did have to mature quite quickly among the rest of his peers, seeing as he was the Man of Steel with superhuman powers. As for Wednesday, the showrunner compares her complexity and dimension with Clark Kent’s, as well.
Seeing as Wednesday Addams is finding herself in the same situation as Clark Kent: having to adjust to a boarding school called Nevermore Academy and get along with peers, the showrunners aim to put a line between the two characters. After all, Wednesday is bound to have a darker theme with Tim Burton directing the show.
Wednesday is set to be released on Netflix on November 23. Also Read: Christina Ricci Gets Honest About the New Wednesday Addams
