It appears as though the first look at Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice 2 has been leaked online
Cameras began rolling on Tim Burton’s long-awaited Bettlejuice 2 back in July, and after a taking a hiatus due to the Hollywood strikes, production has now resumed on the long-awaited legacy sequel.
For those doubting the legitimacy of the image, there were users in the comments who seemed to piece it together. The man being injected with truth serum is unknown, but some users were able to identify him by using much older set photos. One such photo featured Justin Theroux, who was seen working with Winona Ryder.
As one can see, his costume does appear to match the one featured in the first image with Michael Keaton’s character:

Of course, the image should be taken with a grain of salt without any official announcement. But it does seem to fit what we know about the film. On that note, plot details are scarce, but with production beginning again – it seems like we could know more in the very near future. Especially now that the film is also expected to meet its September 2024 release date.
Fans will be able to see Beetlejuice 2 in theaters on September 6, 2024. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates on Tim Burton’s highly-anticipated sequel starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Jenna Ortega as we have them.
[Burton] and I were talking about it years and years ago, never telling anybody,” he continued.”I said, ‘if it happens, first of all, we’ve both said we’re doing it many times. We both agreed, if it happens, it has to be done as close to the way we made it the first time. Making stuff up, making stuff happen, improvising and riffing, but literally handmade stuff like people creating things with their hands and building something. F–kin’ great. It’s the most fun I’ve had working on a movie in I can’t tell you how long.”
