The Wednesday actress has been widely praised for her acting in the film, with one of the cast members jokingly saying that the movie’s director waited for Ortega to be born in order to make this sequel.

“She gets born; you end up doing a thing with her. Then you go; wait a minute. Her? It? If she’s not around, we may never make this thing,” said Catherine O’Hara as she noted that the Scream actress “literally didn’t exist” when the movie was first released in 1988.

To note, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a sequel to the 1988 original film Beetlejuice.

Besides Ortega, the stellar cast of the movie includes Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe.
