Like mother, like daughter? Not quite!

Back in May, some spy photos from the set of Tim Burton's Beetlejuice sequel gave us a first glimpse of returning star Winona Ryder (Stranger Things) as Lydia Deetz, and these latest snaps provide a first look at new cast member Jenna Ortega (Scream).

The Wednesday star will play Lydia's daughter, and from the looks of these photos snapped on the Hertfordshire, England set, she'll be walking down the aisle at some point during the movie. We also have another look at Ryder as Lydia, sporting her goth character's signature black spikey bangs (she really hasn't changed at all in over 30 years).

Based on what we see here, Ortega's character is not going to take after her mother in any way, sporting a warm smile and a traditional white wedding dress - a stark contrast to the red down Lydia wore when she was being hitched (against her will) to Betelgeuse in the original movie.

Check out the photos at the link below.

Michael Keaton is also set to reprise his role as the titular Bio-Exorcist, though we still have no idea how and why he'll return from the afterlife this time. Other new cast members include Monica Bellucci as Betelgeuse's wife, Willem Dafoe as an afterlife cop, and Justin Theroux has also joined the cast in an undisclosed role.

Wednesday creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are currently working on the script.

The Ghost with the Most will return to theaters on Sept. 6, 2024.

Can only hope it's good. Baldwin and Davis are such a large part of the charm of the original though. And there's no rivaling Catherine O'Hara.

So I’m talkin to this super cute half DR half PR girl right? I’m 40, she’s 24. Lately I’ve been on a big white girl roll, itching for some Spanish.

But dang it. There’s always a catch.

She’s on vacation in st Thomas.

Bruh. She’s gettin her back broke. Ain’t no doubt. We JUST started talkin and she went on a trip. Look I don’t trust nobody, therefore, she’s having too much fun.

Anyway I thought of her cuz Ortega’s cute as hell. And because my dumb ahh still Gon try to make things work when she gets back. Date #1 on Tuesday.

St. Thomas. What an Instagram vaykay.

Didn't expect to read such thing on a Saturday morning, but you're not wrong for having that mindset.

Who owns Beetlejuice? If it's not Disney, it might break even but remembering the total 'WTF is this awesome thing I wasn't expecting' vibe when seeing the original in theaters, I will remain cautiously optimistic...

Has anybody heard anything good about Ortega? Keep reading stories about how difficult she is on set, and that she doesn’t really respect writers or the crew, etc.

Wondering if that’s internet nonsense, or if there’s validity to these stories.

I'm honestly surprised they're making this movie. I honestly thought it would never get off the ground. Guess that's the power of patience and Jenna Ortega.

@BobGarlen - After Coming 2 America came into existence I knew then and there any movie could get a sequel. Even the classics that don't ever need one.

It's all about the Benjamins baby.

Cautiously optimistic. The original is a personal favorite. Hope it’s more of an original story then A movie constantly paying homages of what came before.

Probably will go down like this, Lydia’s daughter will get married and die (or coma) in an accident. Lydia remembers Beetlejuice and calls out to him, she wants to bring her daughter back to life. They go on an adventure and he saves her, brings her back to life. Dance ending with them celebrating and Beetlejuice stuck in hell or something crazy. This is just a wild guess.

As long as Keaton brings it and I have no doubt he will, this should be good.
