Jenna Ortega In Talks For Warner Bros.’ Beetlejuice Sequel

Jenna Ortega is circling a reunion with Tim Burton, entering talks for the long-anticipated Beetlejuice sequel. Deadline reports that the Wednesday and Scream star is in early talks to join the film, which is set up at Warner Bros.

The report notes that Michael Keaton and Wyonna Ryder are likely to reprise their roles as Lydia Deetz and Beetlejuice, with Burton set to come back and direct. Ortega would be playing the daughter of Lydia in the sequel.

The hope is to start filming the sequel starting in late May or early June in London, though the site notes that the budget isn’t yet set and there has been a back-and-forth about it. It must be made clear that Ortega’s deal has not yet closed, so it is not finalized.

In addition to her roles in Scream, Scream 6, and Wednesday, Ortega starred in Studio 666, X, and The Fallout last year.
