Jenna Ortega has been in a lot of darkish and twisty films over the previous few years: She did a tour of slashers with X, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Scream 5, and Scream 6, then over on TV there’s the second season of You, and naturally the Netflix hit Wednesday, the place her dance scene went viral. So it is sensible that when she was on Saturday Night time Dwell on March 11, they might do sketches about none of these.
As a substitute they added to her array of roles as angsty teenagers making an attempt their greatest: Rogue from the X-Males.
Technically within the SNL sketch she’s not enjoying Rogue — she’s Zena Nutrino, a psychic and scholar on the “Professor Zander’s Academy for Extraordinary Kids,” who’s indignant she’s not with the crew doing precise necessary issues. As a substitute she’s caught on the “College vs. College” quiz present squaring off towards the exceedingly regular West Grove Excessive college students.
It’s not a good combat — West Grove doesn’t have tremendous powers, and Zena thinks the Shakespeare quote “to be or to not be” is from the character “Toby.” However sadly Professor Chandliss Zander says she has to play as a result of she will be able to’t management her powers simply but. Whereas which will sound extra just like the Darkish Phoenix, the outstanding white streak and inexperienced and yellow ensemble (a la the Jim Lee relaunch look) is straight out of Rogue’s wardrobe. The overall disdain for people although? That’s all Ortega.
However rejoice, Wednesday followers! In order for you a glimpse of Ortega revisiting the Wednesday dance, the Please Don’t Destroy boys received her to do it yet another (final?) time.
