~ Dr. Cyrus Strange revealing his true nature by telling his evil and diabolical plan.

Dr. Cyrus Strange is the main antagonist of the 2021 animated film The Addams Family 2.

He was voiced by Bill Hader, who also played Agent Haggard in Paul, Hansel in Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, Guy Gagné in Turbo, King Leonard Mudbeard in The Angry Birds Movie duology and Bloodbottler in the 2016 The BFG adaptation.

Biography[]

During the events of the film, Cyrus is impressed by Wednesday Addams' science fair project, and as the Addams Family were on vacation, they were approached by Mr. Mustela, a lawyer who claims that Wednesday was switched at birth and not to be an Addams member. They ignored him, and on the road, Mustela and his henchman Pongo chases the family, but eventually lost track of them.

While stopping at New York, Fester suddenly mentions that he juggled babies in the delivery room where Wednesday was born, which shocks Gomez and Morticia. During the way to Miami, Wednesday managed to kidnap Mustela on her own, and found out that he and Pongo were working for Cyrus, Mustela then convinced her should get his dad's DNA to prove that she is not his daughter, which she eventually did so, and found out that she indeed wasn't the daughter of Gomez and Morticia.

Later that night, Wednesday snuck out of the house while her family was sleeping, and being followed by the butler Lurch. The two then head to Sausalito, California, where they walk up to the doorsteps of Cyrus' residence. Cyrus then takes Wednesday and Lurch in and introduces them to his wife and daughter, respectively, Ingrid and Ophelia, both of whom strangely are showcasing animalistic traits. Cyrus then takes Wednesday to his laboratory, where the DNA results prove that the two are related. Just then, however, the Addams family come to take Wednesday home, but when Wednesday notices their arrival, she refuses, stating that she is no longer an Addams. She and Cyrus agree to offer shelter for the Addams family that night, where Pugsley begins to notice Ophelia, with whom he falls in love with, is acting like a pig, and Ingrid is acting like a bird. He then begins to deduce that Cyrus used a special formula to turn animals into people, and thus explaining why they are behaving and acting this way. Moments after, Cyrus then puts the Addams family in test tubes in his laboratory and proceeds to experiment on them and use the same formula Wednesday used on Uncle Fester earlier in the movie on them. Wednesday refuses to let him, and so he then proceeds to do so himself, only for Lurch and Pongo, Cyrus' brutal henchmen who was once friends with Lurch at the abandoned asylum in New Jersey, show up and mess around with him by pretending he is a ball and bouncing him around. Eventually, Cyrus is thrown into the chambers where the experiments are to happen. He then turns into a mutant beast and attacks the family, revealing that he lied about the DNA results, only for Uncle Fester, who has now become full octopus, to attack and defeat him, but not before he ends up falling over and dying due to being an octopus and not being near water. Wednesday then turns Uncle Fester back to normal with a potion made from the blood of her relatives, and they all go home. As for Cyrus, he fell until a marriage proposal which broke his fall.

Later on while at a party hosted by Grandmama, Wednesday acknowledges that while Cyrus faked the DNA testing, she is curious as to how her DNA results proved she and her family were not related. Gomez then reveals he wears a toupee made of sasquatch fur, and assures Wednesday that she is part of the Addams family, leaving Strange's plan in vain. It’s unknown what became of Strange if he ever turned back to his normal/human form or if he even was arrested for his crimes.

Trivia[]

  • Cyrus Strange proved to be much more evil and dangerous than his predecessor Margaux Needler. While Margaux simply wanted to sell houses and form a community that would benefit everyone, Cyrus only cared about what he wanted and wanted to use his experiments for his own benefit.
  • Cyrus resembles what Wednesday could have ended up like if she had not cared more about her family and instead only cared about her own desires.
