Back after a first season of Wednesdayvery successful for Netflix, Burton returns to the forefront, still alongside Jenna Ortega. Only, here is a first controversy gently hitting the nose of the production.A controversy over Marie Curie's nationality that made Polish viewers of the film jump out of their seats. And for good reason, while the character played by Jenna Ortega presents her Halloween costume, she presents Marie Curie as a French physicist. But in fact, Marie Skłodowska-Curie is a Polish physicist who has been naturalized as French.

Especially since her Polish roots, the Nobel Prize winner in chemistry and physics is particularly attached to them. And while in the original version of the film, Marie Curie is presented as a French physicist, the Polish version presents her as Polish.Polish to her fingertips, Curie never hid her attachment to her country, to the point of even naming the first element she discovered Polonium, after Poland.

On the web, Internet users are having fun with this controversy and criticizing the lack of knowledge of Americans about Europe. “This is a reference to the fact that Americans cannot tell the difference between European countries” mock Internet users on Reddit in a post that quickly went viral. Despite everything, this presentation of Marie Curie as a French physicist is not to the taste of the Poles, who are demanding that justice be done.
