The Haunted Mansion actress further shared that after discussing the movie for so long, it felt like they were waiting for Ortega's character, Astrid Deetz, to be born and grow up, emphasizing how crucial she was to the project, noting, "She's like the perfect puzzle piece to add, and she sort of completes it."

She praised the Scream actress for her focus and thoughtfulness, noting that instead of merely replicating, she put a lot of effort into her role and brought a unique and beautiful approach.
Ryder added, "Then, with Catherine [O’Hara] (who played her stepmother role as Delia Deetz in the movie), the empathy I now have for her because of my relationship with Astrid. It was a dream. It really was."
Meanwhile, Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will be released in theaters on September 6, 2024. The movie also features Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe, and Burn Gorman.
