Beetlejuice 2’s Story Update Makes Missing Original Characters’ Absence More Absurd

Beetlejuice 2’s new tease about what the long-awaited sequel’s story will involve is exciting, but also undermines the absences of two original characters. After 35 years of anticipation, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2 is finally happening, with the horror-comedy movie slated to hit theaters on September 6, 2024. In addition to bringing aboard new faces such as Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, and Justin Theroux, Beetlejuice 2 is bringing back some cast members from the original 1988 movie, including Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara.
