First clip for Netflix’s Wednesday contains an unexpected Captain America reference
>
Netflix has unveiled the first extended clip from Wednesday’s Addams TV series.
Released as part of Netflix’s Tudum 2022 global fan event, the 90-second clip gives us insight into the moody yet humorous aesthetic and show what the Netflix show is all about. Oh, and it also includes an unexpected Marvel reference that Captain America would be proud of.
Watch the first clip for Netflix’s Wednesday Addams series below:
Did you pick up Cap’s iconic “I could do this all day” quote? We’d be surprised if you didn’t.
Anyway, as you’ve seen in the clip, Wednesday Addams isn’t fond of her parents wherever she is currently. And things don’t get much brighter for the Addams Family’s teenage daughter, either, with Morticia and Gomez Addams sending Thing—an anthropomorphic human hand that can’t speak—to spy on her.
Unsurprisingly, the ghoulish Wednesday has plans to lock up Thing so it can’t return to her parents and tell them what she’s up to, which is that she plans to escape wherever she is. Wednesday, however, decides to give Thing a choice: swear allegiance to her, and it can remain free. Given the alternative, it’s understandable that it won’t take long for Thing to agree to these terms.
The exclusive Tudum clip comes a month (and a day!) after the first official trailer for Wednesday Addams was released online. That teaser gave us a much better idea of the comedy-horror vibe that Netflix’s live-action series is going for, but this new clip offers a better insight into just how well Jenna Ortega will embody Wednesday’s role in the first on self-contained story of the character.
The new footage also arrives 24 hours after Wednesday’s TV show received an official release date: November 23, which is, unsurprisingly, a Wednesday. The spooky season will be well over by then, but it’ll make for an exciting post-Halloween watch nonetheless.

Netflix Wednesday stars Ortega in the lead role, with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán and Isaac Ordonez portraying Morticia, Gomez and Pugsley Addams, respectively.
Gwendoline Christie, Jamie McShane, Riki Lindhorne and Christina Ricci – who starred Wednesday in the much-loved Addams Family movies of the early 1990s – are also among the show’s substantial supporting cast.
