Jenna Ortega In Talks To Play Lydia's Daughter In 'BEETLEJUICE 2!

We had a feeling this might happen but who knew so quickly.

We’ve been talking about the potentiality of a Beetlejuice 2 foe years now and news just came our way that has our head spinning. The Hollywood Reporter brings an exciting update on the project this week. According to their sources, Jenna Ortega (“Wednesday,” Scream VI) is in talks to join Michael Keaton in the upcoming sequel!

Tim Burton is also expected to return to direct Beetlejuice 2 for Warner Bros. The project would reunite Burton and Ortega, who worked together on Netflix’s “Wednesday.”

THR reports, “Production is eying a late May or early June shoot in London, but budget has not been set, resulting in a back and forth. If a deal is made, sources say Ortega would play the daughter of Lydia, the character played by Winona Ryder in the original.”

There’s no official word on whether or not Ryder will return for the film but we would think if Burton and Keaton are back on board, she would come back in a heartbeat but time will tell.
