- The tip sparked rumours that Burton had re-cast Depp as Wednesday Addams’ uncle, reuniting him with Depp.
- The Rum Diary star has appeared in several of Burton’s films, including Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow.
- The show will debut on Netflix later this year.
Most of the main characters in The Addams Family’s upcoming spinoff series, Wednesday, have now been revealed to fans.
Meanwhile, one fan-favorite character from the iconic film, Uncle Fester, is still noticeably absent, and rumours are circulating on the internet that the character will be played by Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp.
While Alfred Gough, the creator of Netflix’s Wednesday, has stated that the casting and details of Uncle Fester’s role will be kept a secret until the film’s release, a blind item from the celebrity gossip social media account Deux Moi has Depp’s fans in a frenzy.
Deux Moi – typically shares unverified blind items it receives on Instagram Story – claimed that there’s been “extraordinary lengths” taken to conceal the identity of the actor playing Uncle Fester in the upcoming Netflix series, helmed by Tim Burton.
