It is interesting that Ortega was not even born yet when Beetlejuice first came out, however, she shares a resemblance with Ryder and is promising for the role. Justin Theroux will also star in the show, but his character is unknown at the moment.

Keaton joined the sequel on one condition

In 2014, Keaton told MTV News he would only star in Beetlejuice 2 provided Tim Burton was handling it. Ryder, who plays Lydia, also made a similar remark in a 2015 episode of Late Night with Seth Myers while confirming the possibility of a sequel.

“I think I can confirm it because Tim Burton did this interview— like, it was very hush-hush, top secret,” Ryder had said. “And then he was doing some press for ‘Big Eyes,’ and he did an on-camera interview, and he said, ‘Oh yeah we’re doing it, and Winona’s going to be in it.’”
