Academy Award winner Geena Davis would love to return for Beetlejuice 2. The actress revealed to PEOPLE that he “would of course like to revisit” the delights and terrors of the Netherworld all over again after all these years, with Davis seemingly on board for legacy sequels to every movie she has ever starred in. Which would keep her busy for quite some time.

While there is no doubt those who would love to see legacy sequels to the likes of The Long Kiss Goodnight and Earth Girls Are Easy, Beetlejuice 2 is something that fans have been crying out for quite some time. Released long, long ago in the before time of 1988, and directed by Tim Burton, the first Beetlejuice introduces audiences to Batman star Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse, pronounced Beetlejuice, a ghoul and freelancing bio-exorcist.

“I want to play every character I’ve ever played again.”

Our story begins when newly deceased couple, Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin as Barbara and Adam Maitland respectively, contact Beetlejuice and bring him up from the Netherworld in order to scare away the new inhabitants of their old house — a house they are currently haunting. Of course, with Geena Davis’ character being a ghost, the actress has foreseen an issue with her potential return.

While this does present a potential problem (though perhaps some simple de-aging effects could be put to use), would anyone really care if they’ve aged? Surely fans would simply be too excited to see Beetlejuice brought to life to even notice. Beetlejuice was a critical and commercial success upon release and has since become a favorite outing in Burton’s gothic repertoire.

“I have a feeling that ghosts don’t age. How would they explain that they’re older?”

Beetlejuice 2 is Currently in the Hands of Brad Pitt’s Production Company

A sequel to Beetlejuice has been on the cards for some time, with Burton beginning work on a follow-up as far back as 1990 with Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. The project has been the subject of multiple stop-starts ever since, with Beetlejuice 2 currently in the hands of Hollywood icon Brad Pitt and his production company Plan B Entertainment.

Repots have recently stated that Pitt is as eager to see Beetlejuice 2 as everyone else is, with the sequel announced as being in production back in February. While not much has been revealed since, it has been claimed that both Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder will reprise their roles as Betelgeuse and Lydia Deetz, with principal photography said to be scheduled to begin this year.

Long-time Tim Burton collaborator Johnny Depp is also rumored to have a role in Beetlejuice 2, though details of what that role would be are being kept a secret at this time.

For now, Tim Burton is plenty busy bringing his version of The Addams Family to life on Netflix with the sequel series, Wednesday. Starring Jenna Ortega as the titular character, with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Fred Armisen, and Gwendoline Christie, Wednesday follows the beloved member of The Addams Family, Wednesday Addams, exploring her years as a high school student at Nevermore Academy.

Wednesday is set to premiere on Netflix on November 23, 2022.
