Combine a boarding school, Jenna Ortega’s impressive acting, and a classic movie and TV character and it’s no wonder season 1 of Netflix‘s Wednesday was such a big hit. The series featured a fresh, young adult spin on the Addams Family character and also some fun horror elements like a monster haunting the small town surrounding Wednesday’s boarding school Nevermore Academy. The reveal of Hunter Doohan’s character, Tyler Galpin, as the Hyde Monster was one of the best moments of the first season.

Although there is a lot to look forward to about Wednesday season 2, it would be particularly fun to see a second monster posing a major threat to the main characters. While there are no details about season 2’s new cast members, whether they are playing guest stars or have bigger roles, it’s interesting to imagine what role these new stars could play in the dark, spooky, and funny story.

Could This Actor Play Another Monster In Wednesday Season 2?

Joonas Suotamo was cast in Wednesday season 2, and since he played Chewbacca in several Star Wars movies, he could play another monster in the Netflix series. Since, according to Variety, Suotamo will play a guest role, it would make sense for him to be a villain. While Wednesday could become evil and there will be a scary stalker, it’s also possible for there to be a monster just as terrifying as the Hyde. The beloved character, Thing, looked so great in the first season, and the second season could lean into its visual effects even more. A second monster is the perfect way to do that.

If Suotamo played a monster in Wednesday season 2, one of the students or teachers at Nevermore Academy could turn into this creature. This would be fun to see and would also allow the show to focus on Nevermore even more. Since The Hyde Monster is a Jericho resident who spends a lot of time circling the school grounds, why not make a second monster someone even more closely connected to Wednesday‘s main setting?

What Star Wars Movies Did Joonas Suotamo Appear In?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

If Wednesday season 2 is going to be creepier than the first eight episodes, then it makes sense to have two villains: the stalker going after Jenna Ortega’s character and a new monster. If some of the characters saw the monster and Wednesday knew about them, then she would wonder if that was her stalker. This would ensure that the story is full of twists and turns. It would also give Wednesday yet another chance to be an investigator, which is what she likes doing. It makes her feel like she’s rebelling against authority and gives her a sense of security in a new, confusing world.

It also makes sense for Wednesday season 2 to include a new monster since Tyler’s storyline as the Hyde Monster can’t be the focal point anymore. Along with season 1’s dance scene, learning that Tyler is the monster killing characters and haunting Nevermore’s grounds is the most memorable moment so far. It would be fun to see Suotamo play a new monster doing the same thing, and the reveal could be even more exciting.

Finally, since Wednesday season 2 is filming in Ireland, the second season could look even better than the first. A new monster would fit right into the beautiful yet gloomy and creepy setting of Nevermore Academy. The monster could also set up the new mystery for Wednesday season 3. While the Netflix series hasn’t been officially picked up for another season, it’s easy to imagine that it will given its success and popularity.

What Did This Actor Say About Playing A Famous Movie Monster?

Joonas Suotamo enjoyed playing Chewbacca and has talked about the role in several interesting interviews. While Chewbacca didn’t play as big a role in the sequel trilogy as in previous movies, it was still cool seeing what the actor did with the part.

In 2018, Suotamo spoke to The Verge about what was going on with Chewbacca in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The actor said:

“I wanted to show a different, more active Chewbacca because he’s a bit younger. I wanted to explore those mentions in the original trilogy, where they talk about ‘the mighty Chewbacca.’ What would that look like? I was very interested in bringing those solid foundations of cool images, and proof that Chewbacca is a really stout warrior, and he can do a lot of stuff that we haven’t seen him do.”

While Suotamo hasn’t talked about who his Wednesday season 2 character is, he seems comfortable putting on masks and costumes. It’s possible that Chewbacca won’t be the last monster he plays.
