Tim Burton and Michael Keaton's BEETLEJUICE 2 Gets a 2024 Release Date and Justin Theroux Joins The Film

Warner Bros. has announced that Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2 will be released in theaters on September 6th, 2024. It was also announced that Justin Theroux (The Leftovers) has joined the cast. But there’s no word on who he will be playing in the movie.

Michael Keaton is returning to play the Ghost with the Most and joining him will be Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz, and Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) is going to play Lydia’s daughter.

Burton is directing from a script that will be written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The two writers are best known for creating the hit Netflix series Wednesday and the classic DC Superman series Smallville. The script was also worked on by Mike Vukadinovich, with earlier drafts from Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg. Katzenberg and Grahame-Smith are producing.

There have been attempts to get a Beetlejuice sequel made for years, but it’s actually going to happen this time. I only hope that the sequel actually tells a good story that manages to capture the spirit of the original classic movie.

Composer Danny Elfman previously said: “He's not even going to look that much different. That's the beauty of the Beetlejuice makeup. He already looked like he was 150 in the first one.'"

He added, "It's perfect, you know? Everybody else has to play the next generation, except for Michael. I mean, he's still like really fit and really active and really on it. And with the Beetlejuice makeup, I can't even imagine it's going to look like he's changed practically at all. So, I can't wait for that."

I’m excited to see what this sequel actually ends up being.
