We all know that Brown made her producing debut with the Netflix film Enola Holmes in 2020. Apart from playing the lead role in this highly acclaimed movie, she took additional responsibilities to flourish her creative side. Now Netflix has given Jenna Ortega the same opportunity to bring her ideas to the table. In the latest roundtable interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress disclosed that she will be acting as a producer in Wednesday season 2.
The 20-year-old expressed her excitement that she is fortunate to receive this chance. She continued that it is important for people to not go unheard when they are working together as a team on projects. “I think a project is best when there’s as many voices and ideas thrown out as possible,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
Ortega believes this because she herself has experienced things that might make any actors feel dejected. The You star broke her silence that people have treated her like a puppet. There was a time when her views didn’t matter to people on the sets and this treatment repressed her as an artist. It appears that her struggle to stardom was no different from the 19-year-old Brown. The way she expressed her emotions reminded us of the Stranger Things star.
