#ABCD 2 CASTING MOVIE#
While his career began long before Beetlejuice became a hit, the movie was a major turning point in his career. Tim Burton returns to helm the sequel to the 1988 movie that became a cult classic. With production on Beetlejuice 2 in the very early stages, it will be a while before we see a trailer or any footage from the movie, but as soon as a trailer is available we'll have it for you right here. All we know, based on casting, is that Lydia has a daughter, so it would seem that Lydia grew up and had a family and that Keaton's zany poltergeist Beetlejuice is still around, somewhere.

Not surprisingly, details about the plot of Beetlejuice 2 are being kept tightly under wraps. Willem Dafoe was also added to the cast and THR (opens in new tab) reports he is playing an afterlife law enforcement agent of some kind. THR reports that Monica Bellucci ( Mafia Mamma) has also joined the cast, but we don't know who she will play in the sequel. Justin Theroux ( White House Plumbers) has been added to the cast in an unspecified role. Winona Ryder ( Stranger Things) is set to reprise her role as Lydia Deetz, with Jenna Ortega ( Wednesday) playing her daughter. Catherine O'Hara ( Home Alone) is also slated to return. Michael Keaton ( Dopesick) returns to the title role of the mischievous poltergeist, Beetlejuice.
