At the recent L.A. premiere of Tim Burton's new series "Wednesday," Zeta-Jones and her son, Dylan, spoke with Extra about the new film and Douglas, who was not absent. Zeta-Jones and Douglas will soon celebrate their 22nd anniversary, and the actress reflected on their years of marriage.

When asked what she has learned about marriage and love over the years, Zeta-Jones said, "I know I thank my lucky stars every day that I picked the right guy." She praised Douglas further, saying, "I lucked out big time. He's a wonderful husband. He's a wonderful father."

She also said, "He happens to be a wonderful actor. But for us, he's just Michael. I can't believe it has been 22 years, but then when you see this guy [pointing at Dylan], you go, 'Yeah, 22 years… that makes sense.'"

During the conversation with Extra, Dylan also spoke about his mom and his love for Burton's work. He said, "I think the first [Burton film] my mom showed me was 'Edward Scissorhands,' and that's a great film. I've seen so much of Tim Burton's work and I love it, and for him to do his first tv show… 'The Addams Family,' for him to 'Burton-fy' it is just so exciting."

Dylan also shared his excitement to have Zeta-Jones playing the role of Morticia and said that he's "pumped to be here" and it's all "pretty cool!" Zeta-Jones smiled brightly as her son spoke and said, "I am cool for two minutes." She also spoke about her Morticia character, calling her an "iconic woman" and a "matriarch."

Zeta-Jones said, "She's such a pop culture image for me. I wanted to just exude her, not try and be somebody else's interpretation. This particular version of this world is very rooted in modern-day reality, which makes it very cool and funny. Also, weirdly enough, very close to the original."

When asked about her reaction to getting the call to work with Burton, Zeta-Jones said she was very excited. The actress laughed as she recalled that she said, "I don't need to read the script. When do I start?'" She revealed that her time working on the series "was a joy" and "totally a bucket-list moment."

Zeta-Jones continued, "I hope I get this opportunity to do more with him. He's a genius. I have been doing this a very long time, and now I can just sit back and enjoy. It is not really about watching myself… Enjoying the work of others and seeing scenes I read in the script, but I was never there when they shot, and seeing anything that Tim does is pretty cool."

Zeta-Jones was recently at D23 for the release of the official trailer for the Disney+ series "National Treasure: Edge of History" and spoke to Extra about her experience working on the series. She said, "I had a really good time on this." The "Chicago" actress also shared her experience playing Morticia in "Wednesday" alongside Jenna Ortega.

Zeta-Jones said, "It was one of those great, all-come-together few years. Doing 'National Treasure' and then before that I worked with Tim Burton, which was a dream come true to play such an iconic character… It was really great to step into those Morticia black robes."
