Jenna Ortega champions “Beetlejuice 2”

Following her captivating performance as Wednesday on Netflix, Jenna Ortega is poised to debut in the anticipated sequel of the classic, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” The 19-year-old actress has previously expressed her enthusiasm about the project, claiming it’s a movie that the younger generation merits amid a Hollywood overrun with sequels.

Playing a unique role in a much-celebrated narrative

Ortega’s role will find her joining the original cast of the 1988 blockbuster as the daughter of Lydia Deetz, portrayed by Winona Ryder. The teen queen was candid about her fondness for the movie, citing her exposure from a tender age and recognizing its characters instantly. As Beetlejuice graces the screen once again, Ortega foresees it as an opportunity to re-engage audiences with a unique, quirk-filled narrative.

Creativity in revivals and sequels

Ortega highlights the modern trend where movie studios have been refocusing on sequels and rebooting past box-office success stories to fill the cinema seats. While echoing this practice, she championed the return of Beetlejuice, a character famous for his weirdly entertaining tactics. Ortega believes that it’s these peculiar, off-beat stories that will reacquaint the smartphone-engrossed younger generation with creative, artistic ideas.

Beetlejuice, initially, is a 1988 Tim Burton creation that features a recently deceased couple unable to leave their home as ghosts. The couple enlists the help of a playful ghost named Beetlejuice to spook the new inhabitants of their home, leading to comical horror.

Her role in “Beetlejuice 2”

Despite keeping details about her character under wraps, Ortega eagerly shares that she will portray Lydia’s daughter in the upcoming film in a “strange” role. Ortega assures fans that they can expect a deep dive into Lydia’s life since the original movie. She describes it as a “catching up” of sorts that fans are likely to appreciate.

The return of an iconic character

The highly awaited sequel will see Michael Keaton reprising his iconic role as Beetlejuice, a character made notorious for his uniqueness. For those who recall, saying “Beetlejuice” three times in a row summons the charismatic character.

Finally, “Beetlejuice 2” is slated to open in movie theaters nationwide on September 6, 2024. Until then, fans can catch up or relive the original Beetlejuice classic on Apple TV. This promising sequel, with the promise of returning and new talented actors like Jenna Ortega, is all set to build upon the foundation of quirky, entertaining narratives of the original. Bring on the offbeat humor and let the countdown to Beetlejuice 2 begin!
