Jenna Ortega didn't have any hesitations about joining the cast of 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice'.

The 21-year-old actress stars in the new movie alongside the likes of Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara, and Jenna relished the experience of reuniting with 'Wednesday' director Tim Burton, too.

Jenna - who plays Wednesday Addams on the hit Netflix series - told 'Extra': "[Tim] threw me off. It was in Malibu … we were talking about 'Wednesday', gives me the ‘Beetlejuice’ script.

"I went, ‘Oh, okay, right-right, cool. Thank you very much.’ Left. Got in my car, pulled over ten minutes into the drive on the side of Pacific Coast Highway … I just read the entire thing."

Jenna knew "pretty much" immediately that she wanted to join the project.

Meanwhile, Michael Keaton - Jenna's 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' co-star - recently heaped praise on the actress, describing her as a "really special" talent.

The 72-year-old actor revealed that he relished the experience of working with Jenna on the new movie.

Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', Michael - who starred in the original 'Beetlejuice' movie back in 1988 - said: "Oh man, she's good, she's just got it, you know? She's got the tone.

"She showed up and just immediately knew what the tone was and just slipped in like she does every day. She's really special."

The new film boasts a star-studded cast that also includes the likes of Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe.

Michael was initially "hesitant and cautious" about making another 'Beetlejuice' movie - but he ultimately loved the experience and has admitted that relished working with his co-stars.

He told PEOPLE: "It's the most fun I've had on set in a long time."
