Jenna Ortega Reveals Who Wins a Wednesday Addams & Beetlejuice Fight

As a seasoned movie buff with over three decades of watching the strange and the spectacular, I must say that Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday Addams has been nothing short of mesmerizing. With her impeccable performance and undeniable chemistry with the characters she shares screen time with, it’s easy to imagine Wednesday taking on any formidable foe – even the infamous Beetlegeuse!

Get ready to wager! Actress Jenna Ortega has confidently put all her chips on Wednesday Addams not only triumphing, but outdoing the most formidable ghost! Known for her role as Wednesday in the hit Netflix series inspired by the Addams Family, and currently gracing our screens in Tim Burton’s eagerly awaited sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Ortega was asked during a press tour promoting the top-grossing film how Wednesday would have handled Michael Keaton’s character, Beetlegeuse. In response (as reported by Den of Geek), Ortega shared her thoughts on the matter.

I think she would have killed him [snickering resonates].

As a movie aficionado, I must admit that Wednesday Addams has an uncanny knack for tackling any challenge that crosses her path. Her peculiar fascination with the grim and ghoulish is so strong, it’s not hard to imagine her stumbling upon Beetlegeuse in a parallel universe. Frankly, contemplating them squaring off isn’t as far-fetched as it may seem at first glance. During our chat, Ortega elaborated further, stating:

“I found it amusing that Michael Keaton seemed so frightened of Monica Bellucci’s character Delores. I believe she could have matched his fear in another scenario. Moreover, considering her portrayal of the afterlife in this film, I imagine she wouldn’t want to leave it, given how appealing it looked.

Jenna Ortega Reveals Who Wins a Wednesday Addams & Beetlejuice Fight

In the second season of “Wednesday”, you’ll encounter fresh characters, but regrettably, Michael Keaton’s character Beetlegeuse will not be among them. Although the idea of Wednesday Addams engaging in a fight with her supernatural ex, Beetlejuice, as seen in movies like “Freddy vs. Jason” (2003) or TV series like “Ash vs Evil Dead”, sounds amusing, it seems that Beetlejuice had already faced enough challenges dealing with his former partner. During the same interview, Catherine O’Hara, who played a role in the original “Beetlejuice” (1988), expressed her delight about their supernatural exes reuniting in the sequel. She mentioned that she enjoyed seeing them together again.

Generally speaking, many people desire a balanced existence, craving to encompass multiple aspects of life. It’s no secret that life is a complex blend of experiences, feelings, and humor, and laughter serves as an extraordinary gift to help us navigate through difficult times like pain, sorrow, or fear. Anyone aiming to create an engaging narrative strives to include all these elements…
The tale significantly established the authenticity of the female characters, particularly Lydia, Delia, Astrid, and even Beetlejuice. It was intriguing to witness the vulnerability in Beetlejuice, who showed fear towards his ex-wife [Bellucci], adding an unexpectedly humorous touch to the story.

Right now, the movie “Beetlejuice” directed by Tim Burton is playing in cinemas, and it’s holding the top spot at the box office. In less than a week since its release on September 5, this spooky sequel has amassed over $153.3 million globally (according to The Numbers). On another note, production for Season 2 of Netflix’s “Wednesday” began back in May, as reported by Tudum.

Aficionados of the movie “Beetlejuice” can find the complete interview with stars Winona Ryder (Lydia) and Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice), as well as co-stars Monica Bellucci and Justin Theroux, on Ortega and O’Hara’s Den of Geek article. You can read it in its entirety below.
