In a recent Instagram post, Jenna Ortega, the 20-year-old star of the upcoming film “Beetlejuice 2,” addressed the “ridiculous” rumors circulating about her supposed romantic involvement with fellow actor Johnny Depp. The speculation began after a gossip account, DeuxMoi, claimed to have spotted the two together and suggested they may be working on the film together. Ortega wasted no time setting the record straight, stating firmly that she has never met or worked with Depp and asking people to stop spreading lies.
Depp’s representative also issued a statement, emphasizing that the actor has no personal or professional relationship with Ortega and is appalled by the baseless rumors that intend to harm his reputation and career. Last year, Depp’s appearance on the cast list for “Beetlejuice 2” sparked excitement among fans, especially following his successful defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.
Production for the sequel officially began in London, with Ortega playing the daughter of Winona Ryder’s character. Michael Keaton is reprising his role as Beetlejuice, and other stars, including Filipe Cates and Justin Theroux, have joined the cast. Filming took place in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, where Ryder and Ortega were seen shooting wedding scenes.
Despite the progress made on the film, production has been temporarily halted due to the ongoing strike by SAG-AFTRA and WGA. The official premiere date for “Beetlejuice 2” is set for September 6, 2024, marking 36 years since the release of the original film in 1988. Ortega, known for her role as Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series “Wednesday,” is thrilled about the show’s 12 Emmy nominations and expressed her gratitude for the hard work of the cast, crew, writers, and directors.
Apart from her professional achievements, Ortega also opened up about her complicated relationship with social media in an interview with Elle Fanning. She spoke about the pressure to be authentic while also guarding her vulnerability from manipulation and comparison. Despite her reservations, Ortega strives to be genuine on social media and hopes to inspire others to see behind the carefully curated personas often portrayed online.
