The Beetlejuice sequel has an official release date. Warner Bros. has announced that Beetlejuice 2 is releasing in theaters this fall around the same time as Marvel‘s Blade with Mahershala Ali.
So far, the studio has released very little information regarding the follow-up to the popular 1998 Tim Burton film that surrounds a pesky poltergeist. The sequel will see the return of Michael Keaton as the titular Beetlejuice as well as Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz. Adding to the cast is Wednesday star, Jenna Ortega, as the daughter of Lydia. Justin Theroux is also expected to be a part of the cast, however, his role is yet to be revealed.
The film is produced by Brad Pitt‘s company Plan B. It is uncertain if the sequel will closely follow the events of the first film which saw a recently deceased married couple irked by a family who moved into their home. They contact Beetlejuice, the devious ghost from the Netherworld to scare them and haunt them. Beetlejuice grossed $74.7 million USD at the box office and was the inspiration behind the four-year, Tony-nominated musical.
In other entertainment news, The Bear season two premiere date has been confirmed.
