Winona Ryder 51 was spotted on set for Beetlejuice 2 today, sporting her character’s familiar goth attire for the sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 classic, Beetlejuice. Ryder will reprise her role as Lydia Deetz from the 88 classic and will star along side ‘Wednesday,’ breakout star, Jenna Ortega, who will reportedly be the daughter of Deetz. Others, who are said to reprise their roles in the upcoming film are Catherine O’Hara as Lydia’s mother, Delia Deetz and Michael Keaton will return as the Ghost with the most. New comers to the world of Beetlejuice are Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux and Monica Bellucci who will be joining the cast.

Beetlejuice Plot:

After Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting  their country residence, unable to leave the house. When the unbearable Deetzes (Catherine O’Hara, Jeffrey Jones) and teen daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success. Their efforts attract Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a rambunctious spirit whose “help” quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia.

Winona Ryder spoke to Daily Beast about the possibility of returning as Lydia. And her excitement to return to a role she loved.

“It’s not a remake. It’s 27 years later. And I have to say, I love Lydia so much. She was such a huge part of me. I would be really interested in what she is doing 27 years later.”

The hunt for James Gunn’s Superman is heating up. Now that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has made its debut, the Director has ramped up his search for a cast to match his script. Recent reports have David Corenswet as the frontrunner to play the man of steel, as well as Nicholas Hoult being eyed for Lex Luthor. We’ve also heard that Gunn’s antagonist role in ‘SUPERMAN: LEGACY’ is reportedly labeled as “APEX” and James Gunn is looking at Black actors for the role.

“You know, listen… I don’t come to ‘Guardians 3’ and say, ‘I wanna write a movie that’s gonna make everybody cry.’ I don’t think about that. I just think I want to tell a story that treats the characters with dignity and compassion and is the best, most surprising, most moving story I can possibly tell. And if that ends up being just moving, because it’s a fun blast of a film or if it ends up being moving because you’re sobbing, or it makes you feel that rage, or whatever it makes you feel, I’m good with all of those things as long as it works.”

Gunn also believes Superman is an emotional character and should embody that human trait.

“And so, I can’t say I’m looking for any particular emotions to bring out through ‘Superman,’ but I don’t want it to be unemotional. I don’t want it to deny that we are, as human beings, emotional characters and that Superman is also that.”
