Examining the Possibility of Beetlejuice 3The Beetlejuice Tim Burton, the filmmaker of Beetlejuice, talks about if a Beetlejuice 3 is in the works. Following the 1988 release of the original movie, which turned into a cult classic, Burton is now making a return trip to his horror-comedy universe with a sequel that stars Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse. Next month sees the arrival of Beetlejuice in theaters. Naturally, fans are eager to see if the follow-up can live up to the original.
Regarding the potential of a Beetlejuice 3, Burton and producer Tommy Harper are questioned in a recent interview with Total Film (via GamesRadar+). Harper suggests that “anything could happen,” but Burton “noticeably squirms at the suggestion of a Beetlejuice franchise,” according to the publication. See the remarks made by Harper and Burton below:
Harper: “We just discussed doing one really good movie; we haven’t discussed where it could go from here. Do your best, but anything can happen after that.
Burton: “I’m not sure. ‘The largest, the greatest, the most fantastic motion picture since Glen or Glenda!’ would make me sound like William Castle or something. Really, I’m hoping for the best. I find it pleasing that the original spirit and vibe were maintained in this rendition. In any case, I had a great time watching the film in that regard.”

Is a Beetlejuice 3 Coming?
Why There Is No Guarantee of Another Tim Burton Sequel
The forthcoming sequel’s box office performance will be the primary determinant of a Beetlejuice 3. The first film was released thirty-six years ago, so there’s no assurance the sequel will be an enormous hit. However, the sequel does have a number of things going for it, one of which is an excellent cast. Along with returning stars Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz, Beetlejuice also stars Justin Theroux, Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, and Monica Bellucci.

With the sequel, Burton has also reverted to a more conventional filmmaking style, using the same pragmatic production techniques that he used for the first picture, as trailers and interviews have revealed. It’s difficult to see another Beetlejuice movie succeeding without Burton, as he is obviously crucial to making the universe come to life.
Not only did Burton need to come back for Beetlejuice 3 to succeed, but the storyline of the movie also needed to make sense. Obviously, how the future sequel concludes will determine whether or not there are any obvious story lines left to pursue. Therefore, Beetlejuice 3 is still more of a mystery than a certainty at this point, but a positive response to the next film would increase the likelihood of a sequel. Written by Tim Burton
