Beetlejuice Sequel Confirms Absence Of Original Character In New Update

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sequel excludes Jeffrey Jones due to legal troubles.

A new update for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice reveals that one main character from the original 1988 horror comedy movie will not be returning in the upcoming Tim Burton-helmed sequel. The classic film featured a recently deceased couple enlisting the help of Michael Keaton's eccentric bio-exorcist, Beetlejuice, to scare off a wealthy family from moving into their former rural home.

The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice cast for the sequel includes Jenna Ortega, Monica Belucci, Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe, and Burn Gorman. The latest trailer confirms that Jeffrey Jones, who played the Deetz family patriarch Charles in the original movie, will not be part of the sequel. This decision follows Jones' legal troubles, as he was arrested in 2002 for solicitation and possession of child pornography and is a registered sex offender.
