Wednesday: Emma Myers and a “were-spirit” boot camp. What does it mean?

mwednesday is one of the most watched shows of Netflix not only for Jenna Ortega’s stage presence and performance, but also for how the various cast members fit together. Wednesday wouldn’t be Wednesday without her joyful and colorful alter ego, Enid Sinclair, played by 20-year-old actress Emma Myers. Their friendship proves to be fundamental throughout the story, but even more was his ability to transform himself into a werewolf at the right time. Actors, as we know, take their roles very seriously, so much so that Myers, as he said in a recent interview for Jimmy Fallon, he attended a training camp for months to bring out “his were-spirit”.

Let’s face it: no one expected such a place to exist. Instead there is and for the interpreter these were months characterized by great physical and psychological commitment. Let’s start from the first: the actress explained that most of the activities included parkour. “I’ve never done so much parkour in my life” he recalled, “I jumped on everything, I crawled, I climbed.” And, indeed, to play a teenager who, with the full moon, becomes a werewolf, we can’t imagine anything better.

But, we said, the activities were not limited to just that. To fully understand the character, it is necessary to identify oneself totally and, in fact, Myers spent whole days “imitating a wolf”. There were stunts pretending to be sheep and she would approach them on all fours, growling and trying to attack them as if she were really an animal. To witness these scenes, there was the mother of the actress who, I’m pretty sure, had more than a few misgivings at the time.

So while our Jenna Ortega busied herself devising the steps for the now famous dance scene and learning to play the cello, our own Emma Myers howling at the moon, fully delving into the psyche and skin of a werewolf. Given the result, the training camp definitely paid off.
