The worlds of Wednesday and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice collide in a new piece of art that features Wednesday Addams trying to summon Betelgeuse. Serving as an adaptation of the memorable The Addams Family character, Wednesday was released on Netflix in 2022, with Jenna Ortega in the title role. As the wait for Wednesday season 2 continues, Ortega recently appeared in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, taking on the role of Astrid Deetz, daughter to Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz, who was a central character in the 1988 original film.
Now, a new piece of art shared by @beedknee imagines a crossover between Wednesday and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. In addition to Ortega’s version of the character, the art also includes Christina Ricci’s take on the character as seen in The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993), with both saying the name “Beetlejuice,” to summon him. Ryder’s Lydia also features in the art, stopping the pair from saying the name a third time and summoning Michael Keaton’s chaotic bio-exorcist. Check out the art below:
What A Beetlejuice Crossover Would Mean For Wednesday
Connective Tissue Between Wednesday & Beetlejuice Explained
If Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Wednesday feel at all similar, it’s probably because Burton has a hand in both. Prior to directing his Beetlejuice sequel, the filmmaker directed four episodes of Wednesday season 1 while also serving as an executive producer on the show. Stylistically, then, there probably wouldn’t be a major shift if the two worlds were to crossover.
Burton is confirmed to direct multiple episodes of Wednesday season 2, in addition to returning as an executive producer.
In many ways, Lydia and Wednesday are similar characters, with both having interests in the world of death and the macabre. Both also, as seen in the art above, sport wardrobes consisting mostly of blacks and other dark colors. Astrid, too, takes after her mother in many ways, meaning both Beetlejuice Beetlejuice characters would certainly work well in the world of Wednesday. The only problem with a crossover, of course, is that Ortega features in both properties, which could be challenging to explain.

What Form A Crossover Could Take

Although it’s not hard to imagine an epic crossover between Wednesday and the world of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, one feels unlikely to happen on-screen. Instead, the art above suggests that the best way for the two worlds to meet would be on the page in some kind of comic or graphic novel. Doing a crossover this way would be less of a risk creatively and financially than doing so on the big or small screen, but it has the potential to be just as entertaining and darkly charming.
