What has Winona Ryder said about returning for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice?

At the Venice Film Festival press conference for the movie, Winona Ryder opened up about coming back to play Lydia once again. “It was one of the more special experiences of my life," she says (via The Hollywood Reporter). "My love and trust for Tim [Burton] runs so deep and there was a sense of a certain playfulness and readiness to try things...You feel so safe in nonsense, but you also feel just completely free.”

Justin Theroux adds that joining the franchise felt like being “handed the keys to Willy Wonka’s house or something."

Ryder also says the best part of the movie was working with Michael Keaton again, and jokes, "One of my favorite parts was getting to stare into your eyes again."

What is Beetlejuice 2 about?

We finally have some plot details thanks to The Hollywood Reporter! Winona Ryder's Lydia brings her daughter Astrid back to Winter River, and when Astrid finds the town scale model, she accidentally opens a portal to the afterlife. Now, both worlds are being thrown into chaos! Watch the official Beetlejuice 2 trailer here.

We're excited for Beetlejuice 2 to be another classic Tim Burton movie for one reason — he wanted to go "back to the basics." "I really enjoyed it," Tim Burton told The Independent. "I tried to strip everything and go back to the basics of working with good people and actors and puppets. It was kind of like going back to why I liked making movies.”

Movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and (of course) the first Beetlejuice are cemented in pop culture history because of how stripped back they are. Considering Beetlejuice 2 features a lot of the same actors as the first movie, we're expecting it to continue the story of family and coming of age.

The new Beetlejuice 2 trailer is giving Wednesday thanks to Astrid's boarding school, and all the gothic, spooky sets. And it looks like we're getting a throwback to the OG movie thanks to dance scene between Jenna Ortega and Catherine O'Hara! We also get a new look at Winona Ryder as Lydia and Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice, and it looks like their partnership is going to be more complicated than ever thanks to Willem Dafoe's Jackson.

Who is Jenna Ortega in Beetlejuice 2?

Jenna Ortega stars as the daughter of Winona Ryder's Lydia, and this "It" girl does a great job leading the film. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she gives a glimpse inside Astrid's character. "She’s weird, but in a different way and not in the way you’d assume," she says. "The relationship between Lydia and Astrid, [is] really strange because it’s a lot of catching up and putting the pieces together of what’s gone on in Lydia’s life since, which is nice, I think, for anybody who loves the character and is excited to see her again."

While Astrid isn't Lydia's polar opposite, Jenna does reveal we'll see them butt heads. "I wouldn’t say [Astrid's] bright and sunny at all," she continues. "She doesn’t go to the opposite end of the spectrum, but any kid who becomes a teenager wants to be removed from their parents. I think they instantly just fight whatever it is that their parent loves."

This leaked first look features Ryder and Ortega filming in Hertfordshire, England. I'm so glad Winona Ryder still has her iconic hairstyle from the original film, and that even though Ortega's dress is white instead of red or black, you can see that there is some peachy pink tulle in her dress. Even if her character seems different from Lydia, the two might just be more similar than we expect.

Who else is in the Beetlejuice 2 cast?

Literally, it was a day and a half,” Tim Burton told The Independentat the time. “We know what we have to do. It is 99 per cent done.”

The First Look At "Beetlejuice 2"

The first look at Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is truly wonderful! Winona's Lydia is just as emo as she's always been (thank goodness), and I love to see the contrast between Lydia and Jenna Ortega's Astrid. Even though Astrid has similar tones and edge thanks to the dark overcoat and boots, I really like that we can see colorful stripes peeking out from underneath her coat.

The first teaser was giving small town coming-of-age, Halloween, and family drama. And the movie delivered. At CinemaCon 2024, Tim Burton said that coming back for Beetlejuice 2 was like “a big weird family reunion” (via The Hollywood Reporter). While a sequel to the original movie has been in talked about, actor Michael Keaton says this version of the script “finally it got right.” He also added: “I have to tell you this though, it’s really f—king good.”

Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice clearly hasn't changed a bit.
