As Beetlejuice 2 continues to pull together for its march into production, promising developments are being announced in rather quick succession. Some new casting details have appeared along with the Beetlejuice sequel’s 2024 release date, as Michael Keaton will now be joined by new co-stars Jenna Ortega and Justin Theroux. Just when you thought that casting couldn’t get any cooler, it appears that the character of Beetlejuice’s wife will be introduced, and she’ll be played by someone from the James Bond movies of recent past.
It’s Bellucci, Monica Bellucci, who is negotiating to appear as the better half to the ghost with the most! A report from THR provided this new development as part of the whirlwind that will also see Beetlejuice vets Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder returning to reprise their roles. While negotiations could still break either way, thinking of Bellucci and Michael Keaton as an on-screen pair already feels like a match made in the afterlife.
