As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at the meteoric rise of Jenna Ortega! This young actress is not just climbing the Hollywood ladder, she’s sprinting up it with grace and panache. From Scream to Wednesday Adams, her choice of genres might as well be horror and thriller, and I can’t help but suspect that Tim Burton has a secret recruiting office somewhere.

Jenna Ortega is undeniably experiencing great success at a young age. Whether it’s her roles in the Scream series or as beloved Wednesday Addams, it’s clear that she’s rapidly climbing the ranks to be recognized as one of Hollywood’s most versatile young talents. Her chosen genres are horror and thriller, and it seems like Tim Burton may have played a part in this decision.

During the filming of Wednesday’s second season, have you ever wondered how Jenna landed the role in the Beetlejuice sequel? Interestingly, it appears that the actress was unaware, but the movie’s creator, Tim, had already decided on her for the part. In a recent chat with Buzzfeed, Ortega discussed this very topic.

Jenna Ortega got an invitation from Buzzfeed for a chat, puppy playtime, and career discussions prior to the Beetlejuice release. During this, she discussed her initial encounter with Tim Burton offering the role, stating that she found out about it while in her car following some ADR sessions. A few days after Wednesday’s premiere is when she learned of Beetlejuice, and Burton mentioned his interest in discussing season 2 of Wednesday. Jenna also shared extensively about Michael Keaton, recounting their first interaction since she’s a fan of the actor.

In the original Beetlejuice film, Michael Keaton portrayed the lead character. He’ll be reprising his role in the upcoming sequel, alongside the cast from the first movie. However, due to a limited screen time requirement, he may not appear extensively. The main focus of Beetlejuice 2 will shift towards Lydia’s (Winona Ryder) life and her daughter Astrid’s (Jenna Ortega), delving into their complex relationship.

The Deetz clan finds their way back to Winter River following an unfortunate incident. As Lydia grapples with strange supernatural occurrences, her defiant daughter Astrid stumbles upon a puzzling gateway to the spirit world. What awaits the Deetz family remains to be unfolded. Mark your calendars; Beetlejuice returns to cinemas on September 6, 2024.

In addition to her previous remarks, Jenna offered a hint about potential developments in Wednesday’s second season, which is now being filmed. The actress revealed that they are currently filming episodes 201 and 204, and she mentioned that there’s a lot going on in these episodes. She went on to say that each day brings a significant scene for them to tackle, sparking excitement among viewers about what the upcoming season might hold.
