Tim Burton Questions If Beetlejuice 3 Will Happen Anytime Soon

Aug 29, 2024 10:10 PM

Tim Burton recently shared his skepticism regarding the possibility of directing a third Beetlejuice film, stating he would be around 100 years old by then. The long-awaited sequel, Beetlejuice 2, features returning characters along with new cast members and hits theaters on September 6, 2024. Despite Burton's reluctance, he expressed excitement about exploring the character Lydia Deetz, played by Winona Ryder, now dealing with themes of aging and relationships. Critics have called the sequel charming yet light on drama, maintaining Burton's signature whimsical style.

Will there be a Beetlejuice 3?

While Tim Burton has not ruled out a third film, he doubts he would take on the directing role due to his age. However, interest in Beetlejuice 3's production remains contingent on the sequel's success at the box office.

Beetlejuice is a cult classic horror-comedy film originally released in 1988, known for its unique blend of humor and supernatural elements. The film gained significant popularity, leading to a long-anticipated sequel after more than three decades. The original featured Michael Keaton in an iconic role, and the combination of nostalgia and new talent aims to rejuvenate interest in the franchise.
