Title: Beetlejuice 2: What to Expect in the Highly Anticipated Sequel
Beetlejuice 2 Trailer: Absent Characters and New Surprises
Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin Absent from Beetlejuice 2
As the trailer for “Beetlejuice 2” shows, a few of the first film’s characters are necessarily absent. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis will not be reprising their roles as Adam and Barbara Maitland because explaining how their ageless characters have suddenly added over thirty years to their frames poses a problem. While Davis told People Magazine she’d love to step back into Barbara’s shoes in 2022, she admitted, “I have a feeling that ghosts don’t age.” Baldwin, meanwhile, has continued to keep busy and has not spoken out about returning to play Adam.
Remembering the Late Cast Members of Beetlejuice
Additionally, two important “Beetlejuice” cast members have passed away since the first film’s release: Glenn Shadix, who played Otho, passed away in 2010, and Sylvia Sidney, who played the Maitland’s guide to the underground of the undead, Juno, died in 1999.
“Beetlejuice 2” is set to hit theaters on September 6, 2024.
