Once again… IT’S SHOWTIME!
Michael Keaton will be teaming up with director Tim Burton again to reprise one of his signature roles once more, as Warner Bros. Discovery has officially announced that “Beetlejuice 2” is a go and will hit theaters on September 2024!
As reported by Deadline, The sequel to the 1988 horror fantasy comedy will see Keaton back as the “Ghost with the Most”, and also joining him will be his co-star Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz as well as “Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega - who will play Lydia’s daughter!
For fans of Michael Keaton, this is another comeback role following his return as Batman in this year’s “The Flash”. It was because of “Beetlejuice” that Keaton and Tim Burton developed a working relationship that led to his casting as the Caped Crusader, and Burton also spearheaded “Wednesday” on Netflix which starred Jenna Ortega as the lovable and creepy member of The Addams Family.
Turning 70 and still delivering some awesome acting roles is one thing, but how about getting to play the superhero role that many fans remember you for once more next year? That's pretty much what birthday boy and Batman 1989 actor himself Michael Keaton is, and he's done a lot of stellar work in Hollywood - from playing the Caped Crusader in two Tim Burton directed Batman films as well as Beetlejuice before that with the same director. He was also nominated for his performance in Birdman, and would also get to play The Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Now he'll be coming back next year to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne/ Batman in The Flash movie starring Ezra Miller, and the DC Films adventure will open the multiverse doors and feature Ben Affleck's Batman as well!
Happy Birthday Michael Keaton!
