The Addams Family 2: New character posters show the kooky family having a whale of a time

The crazy, spooky family is all set to make a comeback this year with The Addams Family 2. But this time, they will be seen in a new avatar as the gothic group is all set to have the unhappiest time of their lives with a family vacation in the upcoming sequel to the 2019 animated black comedy.

According to a report in Collider, postcards-themed character posters for the creepy family have recently been revealed, which show the Addams being their charming old morbid selves, but this time against a backdrop of sunny beaches and other tourist attractions.

Each character is shown to embrace the usual old vacation personas with sunglasses, strawhats and eyeball garnished mocktails. A hilarious dark caption also accompanies each one, which forms as the Addams family version of shallow vacation quotes. While Morticia’s reads ‘having a hideous time’, Pugsly’s invites the reader to give the ‘freezing’ waters a try.

Created by American cartoonist Charles Addams, the Addams Family is an aristocratic household of members with the penchant for all things dark and morbid. The classic family structure includes a doting gothic mother, a sword slinging father, two children with a love for dynamite, a witch grandmother, a ghostly uncle and a detached limb by the name of ‘thing’. The highly popular characters have been reincarnated on the silver screen many a time, with their latest animated avatars first appearing in the 2019 movie The Addams Family.

The sequel will follow the Addams as they decide to take a road trip across the United States to bond more as a family. Directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon, the star-studded voice cast includes Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Nick Kroll, Javon Walton, Snoop Dogg, Bette Midler, Bill Hader, and Wallace Shawn.
