Breaking! 🚨 Beetlejuice 2 is officially moving forward with Jenna Ortega now CONFIRMED to be portraying the daughter of original character, Winona Ryder's Lydia.
Shortly after being confirmed for the long-gestating Tim Burton sequel, Jenna Ortega's Beetlejuice 2 character details reveal her relation to an original character. Development on the horror-comedy has languished for over 30 years, finally gaining steam last year with Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder said to be reprising their beloved roles. Earlier this year saw rumors swirling of Ortega reuniting with her Wednesday director, which were later confirmed at Warner Bros.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Variety has brought word that Warner Bros. is fast-tracking development on Beetlejuice 2, with the Burton sequel now slated for a September 6, 2024 theatrical release. In the release date report, it was also confirmed that Ortega is confirmed to star in the film as the unnamed daughter to original character Lydia Deetz, previously portrayed by Winona Ryder.
What Ortega's Beetlejuice 2 Character Could Mean For The Movie's Story Since the first rumors of her casting began swirling, speculation has pointed towards Ortega portraying the daughter of Ryder's Lydia in Beetlejuice 2, given their similar appearances and the former featuring a similar demeanor in her acclaimed performance in Netflix's Wednesday.
Related: Wednesday Season 2 Is No Longer Jenna Ortega’s Best Upcoming ProjectWith Ortega now officially playing Lydia's daughter, it will be interesting to see what this means for Beetlejuice 2's story. The previous film ended with the eponymous bio-exorcist attempting to marry Ryder's character in the hopes of freely causing chaos in the mortal world, only to be stopped short by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis' Adam and Barbara.
It would also be interesting to see how having a family has changed Lydia heading into Beetlejuice 2, and whether she retained her morbid demeanor while raising her daughter. If Burton wanted to keep audiences on their toes, he and Ortega could flip expectations by making her character a bright and chipper figure more akin to Wednesday's Enid rather than her Addams Family daughter, which could even lead to a fun and chaotic team up between her and Keaton's Beetlejuice.
