Keaton previously teased Beetlejuice 2, sharing that they’re approaching the same way they did the first one, The Hollywood Reporter reported. "There’s a woman in the great waiting room for the afterlife literally with a fishing line,” he said. "I want people to know this because I love it, tugging on the tail of a cat to make it move," he added. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on September 6, 2024, but with the writers and actors strikes, there’s a possibility it gets pushed further
