Who is starring in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice?

Fans of the original will be thrilled to learn that Michael Keaton is reprising the role of Beetlejuice himself, while Winona Ryder returns as Lydia Deetz and Jenna Ortega will take on the role of Lydia’s teenage daughter, Astrid.

Astrid is “weird, but in a different way and not in the way you’d assume”, Ortega said on the role, adding that her character’s relationship with Lydia will be a “very important” part of the upcoming film.

While Astrid won’t be seen “wearing pink and [being] a cheerleader”, she will want to push “against [her] mom’s history or past”, Ortega said: “Any kid who becomes a teenager wants to be removed from their parents. I think they instantly just fight whatever it is that their parent loves.”

As a result, Lydia and Astrid will “butt heads quite a bit” in the film, she continued.

The brilliant Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) also returns in her role as Lydia’s step-mother Delia Deetz, while new cast members will be introduced including Justin Theroux (Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi), Monica Bellucci (Spectre, The Matrix), Arthur Conti (House Of The Dragon) and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things, At Eternity’s Gate).
