Jenna Ortega stars in the highly anticipated film 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' as Astrid Deetz, the rebellious teen daughter of Winona Ryder's character, Lydia Deetz. The movie marks the return of Michael Keaton as the iconic 'Ghost with the Most' and Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, who now hosts a reality TV series called Ghost House.
The character of Astrid was not originally written with Jenna Ortega in mind, as screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar aimed to create a distinct character separate from Wednesday Addams or young Lydia from the original film. Astrid is portrayed as a skeptic of the supernatural, believing only in tangible facts and things she can see.
