Fans of the classic film Beetlejuice and its sequel can prepare to see Lydia Deetz’s daughter in a new light.
In an interview with Vanity Fair from Jenna Ortega, the young star opened up about her role as Winona Ryder’s onscreen daughter in the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel.
Ortega revealed, “I am Lydia Deetz’s daughter, so I’ll give that away. She’s weird, but in a different way and not in the way you’d assume, I would say.
The relationship between Lydia and Astrid, my character, is very important. For any fan who loves the character and is excited to see her again.”
The former Scream star also explained the dynamic between her character and Lydia. Ortega shared that while she doesn’t go to the opposite end of the spectrum, she does represent the typical teenager who wants to rebel against their parents.
The film wrapped production late last year after filming in Vermont where Winter River, the fictional town from the original film, was rebuilt.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice hits theaters on Sept. 6 marking Ortega’s highly anticipated appearance in the sequel.
