‘Beetlejuice 2’: Michael Keaton And Winona Ryder Reportedly Starring, Brad

Never trust the living.

The ghost with the most could be coming back sooner than you’d expect. According to Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider, the long awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice could be ready for a universe expansion. The reliable source has posted some interested items to his Substack, The Ankler about the long-delayed Beetlejuice 2.

According to Sneider, “Brad Pitt‘s company Plan B has come aboard to produce Beetlejuice 2, which could shoot this summer with original stars Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder reprising their roles.”

Don’t get too excited though, as the insider continued the update by writing “it hasn’t gone before WB’s greenlight committee just yet.”

While that’s the majority of the update, there is no word if creator Tim Burton will have any involvement in this project. However, it would be surprising if a film moved forward without the director’s stamp of approval.
