New Beetlejuice 2 set photos from the U.K. production of Tim Burton‘s long-awaited sequel have surfaced online (via People Magazine). The pictures give us a first look at Jenna Ortega‘s new character.
One of the photos show the Wednesday star wearing a wedding gown. This could tease her character’s deal with the titular villain, which would be similar to what Lydia Deetz did in the first installment. It also includes another look at Winona Ryder’s return to the dark comedy franchise.
What to Expect in Beetlejuice 2?
Beetlejuice 2 is once again being directed by Tim Burton. This marks Burton’s feature directorial comeback, four years after helming Disney’s live-action Dumbo. After initially working together in Netflix’s Wednesday series, Scream VI star Jenna Ortega reunites with Burton.
Joining Ortega are returning stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara. The sequel will also introduced new characters in the form of Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe. The project has been in development for more than three decades now. Further details about the new plot are still under wraps.
Beetlejuice starred Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Jeffrey Jones, Alec Baldwin, and Geena Davis. The film centered around a deceased married couple who called on the services of the obnoxious and mischievous poltergeist from the Netherworld to scare away the new residents of their former home. Since its debut, it earned both critical and commercial success with a box office gross of over $73 million.
