Jenna Ortega to join Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton for Beetlejuice 2

Jenna Ortega fans will be excited as she will join Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton for Beetlejuice 2, a sequel to the infamous movie many of us remember from the late 80s, 1988 to be exact. Beetlejuice quickly became a fan favorite thanks to Michael Keaton's hilarious quirky character combined with some awesome visuals at the time. It's only a matter of time until our imagination gets twisted once again for a much deserved sequel to Beetlejuice.

Entertainment news website Toofab reported further details on Jenna Ortega and Beetlejuice 2, saying the following in a blog post about it:

"Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega has been tapped to play the daughter of Winona Ryder's goth teen Lydia Deetz in the sequel to the 1998 comedy classic "Beetlejuice" -- Ryder is also set to return alongside Michael Keaton in the titular role for the 2024 release.

After decades of hoping and dreaming, fans of Tim Burton's classic "Beetlejuice" comedy are finally getting their dreams come true, with Deadline reporting that filming begins May 10 on "Beetlejuice 2."

Along with a set release date of September 6, 2024, per Variety, the highly-anticipated sequel dropped some very exciting casting news. "Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega is going to keep dipping her toes into the macabre (unless they intentionally go against type) as the daughter of Winona Ryder's sullen, goth teen Lydia from the original film.
