Beetlejuice 2 has wrapped filming, with Catherine O’Hara reprising her role as Delia Deetz alongside returning stars like Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder. But there’s also buzz around franchise newcomer Jenna Ortega.
As Lydia’s daughter Astrid, 21-year-old Ortega takes on a crucial role ushering a new generation into the creepy and kooky world. Even acting alongside legends, the rising talent made an impression on O’Hara.
“Jenna Ortega’s great. Love her,” O’Hara said in a recent interview. “What a cool young woman.”
High praise coming from a comedy veteran. While plot details are still under wraps, Ortega’s versatility and presence are clear assets for this otherworldly sequel to the 1988 classic. If O’Hara’s endorsement is any indication, Ortega and her character Astrid will provide a haunting highlight.
With Tim Burton back directing, Danny Elfman on music, and fresh star power like Ortega, fans can expect some wicked fun when Beetlejuice 2 drops this September. This eccentric franchise has a new breakout star in Jenna Ortega.
