The Beetlejuice sequel is eyeing 'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega to play Lydia's daughter.
It’s Jenna Ortega’s world, and we’re just living in it. Hot off the success of the Netflix series Wednesday, and suddenly finding herself at the forefront of the marketing for this week’s Scream VI, the young star is reportedly in talks to board Beetlejuice 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter. If the deal goes through, the long-awaited project would unite Ortega with her Wednesday director Tim Burton.
Ortega is a self-confessed fan of the original movie, which was released to critical acclaim and commercial success in 1988. She said in a Netflix featurette for Wednesday that she’d have “consistent dreams” about Beetlejuice as a child. Fun fact, Ortega was born nearly a decade-and-a-half after Beetlejuice was released.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Ortega is expected to play the daughter of Lydia, the character played by Winona Ryder in the original. Burton and Keaton are both expected to return for Beetlejuice 2, which comes on the heels of several successful legacy sequels, including but not limited to the upcoming the sixth Scream movie. The first Beetlejuice practically launched Burton’s career, and was instrumental in him being signed for Batman, a film that he fought tooth and nail to cast Keaton in.
And there’s evidence to suggest that Ortega herself is someone with a unique clarity of vision, an actor who knows what’s right for their character, and isn’t afraid to do what it takes to get the job done. She got her start on the CW comedy-drama series Jane the Virgin. More recently, she delivered an acclaimed performance in the school shooting drama The Fallout, and rose to greater prominence in 2022 with the Scream reboot and Wednesday.
