Willem Dafoe ! That ’s it . That ’s the caption .
He’s back, but don’t say his name three times.
On Thursday, the trailer, a bunch of character posters, and several movie stills dropped forBeetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 horror comedy about the ghostly Betelgeuse, played by Michael Keaton.
Michael, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara are all back forthe sequel. In the first film, Winona played moody teenager Lydia Deetz, and Catherine played her stepmother, Delia. The film chronicled the Deetz family’s move into a new home, where they accidentally summoned Betelgeuse.
Notably, the trailer confirms that the sequel will followLydia Deetz and her daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega)returning to Winter River following the death of Lydia’s father, Charles, who Jeffrey Jones played in the first film.
Unsurprisingly, Betelgeuse is summoned again with major repercussions for the Deetz family.
The film also features several new characters, including Monica Bellucci as Betelgeuse’s wife, Delores…
…Justin Theroux as Rory…
…and Willem Dafoe as Wolf Jackson.
The trailer is full of great moments that you really just need to watch for yourself, but one quick highlight is Lydia in an updated version of the iconic red wedding dress she wore in the original film.
So check out these new stills from the upcoming movie:
