    And TBH, Jenna does look absolutely perfect for the role as she deadpans the camera and The Thing crawls on her shoulder.

    Jenna also shared a black and white selfie in character from inside her dressing room — looking like a 21st century Wednesday.

    The Tim Burton-directed "supernaturally infused mystery" is set to follow Wednesday through her years at the Nevermore Academy.

    As a student, Wednesday must "master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago."
