Willem Dafoe Confirmed Role In Beetlejuice 2?
Remember that action-packed persona Willem Dafoe embodied in countless B-movies? Well, it’s time to trade in those adrenaline-fueled roles for something a bit more… otherworldly. Dafoe is set to star as a dead police detective in the highly anticipated sequel to Tim Burton’s cult classic ‘Beetlejuice 2‘.
Here’s What Willem Dafoe Said:
I haven’t seen any footage yet, but it was fun to do. I play a police officer in the afterlife, so I’m a dead person. And in life I was a B-movie action star, but I had an accident and that’s what sent me to the other side. But because of my skills, I became a detective character in the afterlife. So that’s my job. But it’s colored by the fact of who I was [when I was alive]: a B movie action star.
Dafoe joins returning cast members Michael Keaton as the mischievous Beetlejuice and Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz. Jenna Ortega takes on the role of Lydia’s daughter, bringing a fresh perspective to the bizarre and hilarious world of ‘Beetlejuice’.
So, We Expect a spooktacular good time with Beetlejuice 2! Dafoe’s presence, Burton’s signature style, and a fresh take on the beloved characters will thrill and chill audiences when it hits theaters in 2024.
When Will Beetlejuice 2 Be Released?
Beetlejuice 2 is set to be theatrically released on September 6, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures. Variety reported, however, on October 24, 2023, that because of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, Warner was considering delaying the film’s release possibly to 2025 along with Alto Knights.
