In Stranger Things Season 4 fans noticed the striking resemblance between Joyce Byers and Eleven. Perhaps the creator gave them similar looks since she joined the Byers family after Jim Hopper’s assumed death. Another reason can be that Joyce treated Eleven like a real mother and always comforted her whenever she felt anxious. Now, after years of shielding Millie Bobby Brown with her motherhood, the American actress is set to share the same affectionate relationship with Jenna Ortega.

According to Variety, Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder are going to work together as a mother-daughter duo in the new film. This project will reunite the young actress with Tim Burton after their Netflix show Wednesday. The sequel to the 1998 film, Beetlejuice is ready to return to the big screen. The publication has confirmed that the 20-year-old will be playing the daughter of Lydia Deetz. Moreover, Warner Bros has announced that the horror flick will arrive in theatres on Sept. 6, 2024.

Although the character of Jenna Ortega in the upcoming film has been kept under wraps, one can certainly guess what she can do given her role in the spinoff of Addams Family. The original movie ended with the eponymous bio-exorcist wishing to marry in order to create chaos in the mortal world. So it is possible that the sequel could make Oretaga his key to freedom and revenge for being stopped before.
