Tim Burton is bringing his talents to the small screen with “Wednesday”, the new Netflix series that reimagines “The Addams Family” by focusing on daughter Wednesday (played by Jenna Ortega).
Ahead of the debut of “Wednesday” next month, Burton spoke with Deadline about his long association with Disney, and why he’s uncertain whether he’ll continue working with the studio where he first got his start as an animator.

In fact, Burton is adamant that he has no desire of stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“I can only deal with one universe,” he said. “l can’t deal with a multi-universe.”
He cites his experience helming the 2019 live-action remake of “Dumbo” for likely bringing his Disney days to an end.
“My history is that I started out there. I was hired and fired like several times throughout my career there,” said Burton.
