In addition to Keaton, original “Beetlejuice” Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara are back as Lydia and Delia Deetz, respectively. Jenna Ortega rounds out the family as newcomer Astrid Deetz.
Will Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin be in Beetlejuice 2?
Sadly, however, Geena Davis has officially confirmed that she's not in Beetlejuice 2. Though Alec Baldwin hasn't made any comments on his role, Davis' absence all but confirms that he won't be involved in the Tim Burton sequel either.
Some of the stars of the original film, like Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, will reprise their roles for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Meanwhile, fresh faces like Jenna Ortega and Justin Theroux will make their debut in Burton's ghoulish world.
Well, it's official: Geena Davis is not in Tim Burton's eagerly anticipated Beetlejuice 2. The actor, who played Barbara Maitland in the 1988 movie, confirmed the news, which is likely to disappoint longtime fans, at CinemaCon 2024.
However, a representative for Jones confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he will not appear in Beetlejuice 2. It was only 21 years ago that the actor was convicted for soliciting a minor after he pleaded no contest to hiring a 14-year-old boy pose naked for photographs.

If I told you how many times I've rewound the part where Alec Baldwin's character Adam Maitland first encounters the titular ghost in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice, you'd give me a concerned look and immediately confiscate my TV remote.

Interestingly enough, Keaton actually turned down the role when he was first pitched the film by Burton. In a 2014 interview with Charlie Rose, he talked about his first meetings with Burton and the difficulty of understanding what the project was even attempting to do.
The aptly titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will feature Michael Keaton returning as the coarse and crude spirit Betelgeuse, who is summoned when his name is said aloud three times. Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara will also reprise their iconic roles from the original, joined by newcomer Jenna Ortega.
It's been 36 years, but once again, the juice is loose. After reprising Batman in last year's The Flash, Michael Keaton returns to another iconic role in Entertainment Weekly's exclusive first look at Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to director Tim Burton's cult hit.

Jenna Ortega confirms she's playing Astrid, Lydia Deetz's (Winona Ryder) daughter in 'BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE' "I'm not wearing pink and a cheerleader, but I am a little bit against my mom's history or past.
However, two of the original film's primary stars, Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin, will not be reprising their roles as the ghost couple Barbara and Adam Maitland. Davis recently confirmed that she won't be in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and she also explained why.
