Jenna Ortega’s already impressive Hollywood profile seems to be soaring even higher, as rumors are circulating that she may have landed a role in the highly anticipated sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 film Beetlejuice. While there has been no official confirmation on the sequel’s release, the latest rumor suggests that Ortega may be in the running to play the daughter of Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz, one of the main characters in the original film.
Jenna Ortega could potentially be in Beetlejuice 2
Moreover, on the podcast The Hot Mic with Jeff Sneider and John Rocha, Sneider discussed the rumor he had heard about the potential inclusion of Jenna Ortega in Beetlejuice 2. According to Sneider, he had heard that the sequel was finally happening with the original cast, including Michael Keaton, Catherine O’Hara, and Winona Ryder. The new development was the possibility of Ortega’s involvement, with sources claiming that she had either been in talks or had received an offer to play Lydia Deetz’s daughter.
While this news is still considered a rumor until official confirmation is provided by the studio or Tim Burton himself, many factors seem to be aligning in favor of the long-awaited sequel. Moreover, legacy sequels have proven to be successful at the box office, and many of the original cast members have seen a resurgence in popularity. Additionally, Ortega’s rising stardom, thanks to her roles in movies such as X and Scream, and her leading role in the Netflix series Wednesday (which is directed by Tim Burton), make her a fitting candidate for a role in Beetlejuice 2.
Still waiting for confirmation
Despite the excitement surrounding the potential sequel and Ortega’s involvement, fans will have to wait for official confirmation before getting too excited. Nevertheless, the idea of Jenna Ortega playing Lydia Deetz’s daughter in a Tim Burton-helmed Beetlejuice sequel is certainly a tantalizing prospect.
