Jenna Ortega might be cast in Beetlejuice 2, and there's a chance she might be able to replicate the viral popularity of Wednesday's dance scene.
With the recent announcement that Jenna Ortega, star of Wednesday on Netflix, might be appearing in Beetlejuice 2, there's a good chance that she'll perform a sequence to rival Wednesday's viral dance scene. A sequel to Tim Burton's 1988 horror comedy Beetlejuice has been in development hell for decades, but with the recent success of his Wednesday series, it looks like it's finally being summoned from the netherworld.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Wednesday Addams has been imagined for a new generation, and Ortega's performance in particular has been celebrated for highlighting the character's intelligence, wit, and quirky personality. Given her acting skills and the cryptic but hopeful Beetlejuice 2 updates from Burton, Ortega playing Lydia Deetz seems like the perfect match for the director's creative plans.
Beetlejuice 2 can repeat Tim Burton's prior success by focusing on a fresh new take on an old favorite, especially with Ortega's creative insight. The actress had a lot of influence on the creation of the Wednesday dance, and if she's allowed to work with Burton, Keaton, and O'Hara to create a new sequence that retains the spontaneity of the original while still feeling true to the story of the sequel, it might be another hit.
Would Jenna Ortega Do Another Dance Like In Wednesday? Much of the success of another viral dance like in Wednesday comes down to Ortega's desire to replicate something she's already done. As an actress honing her craft, she may feel like trying to top Beetlejuice's Day-O dance might be too similar to the sort of work she's done before and feel creatively unchallenged.
Even though the Wednesday dance has become a pop culture phenomenon, Ortega might be sick of doing it. Therefore, it will take a really unique routine in Beetlejuice 2 to get her to replicate it. However, the actress may find that collaborating with respected creatives like Burton, Keaton, and O'Hara is just the challenge she needs.
