But when Tim Burton near her with the sequel , she was surprised to find their imaginativeness did n’t take the same path .
“ I would desire there ’s that affair of wanting to keep the essence of the first one , but then imagine this whole life-time that ’s bechance , ” Ryder toldEntertainment Weeklyin a newfangled audience . “ I never think about Lydia ever being a mommy . I thought she would just be this thread maker by pick in that Ionic dialect , but I think that ’s where the unbelievable Jenna Ortega come in . She answer a ton of those questions , and it felt so right . ”
