Jenna-Ortega-as-Wednesday-Addams-and-Michael-Keaton-as-Beetlejuice
With a lot of the same talent both in front of and behind the camera, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was always bound to be similar to Wednesday — but it has a few specific references to the hit Netflix show. Released 36 years after the original film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was Tim Burton’s follow-up project to Wednesday season 1, which saw his long-awaited return to the macabre .
Ortega has a very similar delivery style for both of these characters’ lines, with a dry, deadpan approach to the humor. It makes the two performances very similar — practically indistinguishable apart from the characters’ different names — but since each character’s lines were written by the same writers, they open themselves up to the same kind of delivery. In many ways, Astrid is characterized as Wednesday 2.0.
4 Jenna Ortega Doesn't Get Along With Her Classmates Both Wednesday & Astrid Are Loners Who Despise The Popular Kids In both Wednesday and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Ortega’s characters don’t get along with their classmates. Wednesday and Astrid are both loners who have no interest in making friends and despise the popular kids. This isn’t the case across Ortega’s entire filmography. In Stuck in the Middle, her character Harley Diaz has a best friend named Ellie.
However, she did bring one of Beetlejuice 2’s subtlest references to Wednesday. Delores is first introduced in the afterlife, as all of her severed body parts are reanimated. Her reanimated body parts drag themselves across the floor and reattach themselves, eventually putting her back together, all set to one of Burton’s best soundtrack needle-drops: “Tragedy” by the Bee Gees.
Jeremy has an evil plan to steal Astrid’s life; he tricks her into thinking he’s just an innocent dead person and she can resurrect him by signing a contract in the afterlife. However, he’s really planning to swap her life for his. When she signs the contract, she’ll be doomed to an eternity in the afterlife and he’ll be able to walk free on Earth with her stolen lifeforce.
