The movie, set to release on September 6, sees Ryder reprising her role as Lydia Deetz, while Ortega portrays her daughter, Astrid.

Today, during the film’s world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, fans were treated to a touching moment between Ryder and Ortega.

Appearing momentarily flustered, Ryder turned to Ortega, who reassured her, saying, “No you don’t have to.” This supportive gesture from Ortega, who looked particularly stylish in her shades, was well-received online.
Fans praised Ortega for encouraging Ryder to maintain her boundaries. One Twitter user commented, “It’s comforting to see the younger generation encouraging the older generation to uphold their boundaries.” Another added, “It’s sad that a veteran actor feels pressured by photographers, but kudos to the younger generation for empowering them.”
