Tim Burton has been talking a lot about Beetlejuice 2 lately, stating that it’s “probably closer than ever” and confirming Winona Ryder will return to the cast alongside Michael Keaton, and now the director has shared a few more words during a promotional interview for his new film Big Eyes, revealing that he “wouldn’t call it so much a sequel”.
“There’s a script now, that I think is closer to what it could be and I’m excited about it,” Burton told Yahoo. “I wouldn’t call it so much a sequel, but it’ll have some characters. It’s a bit too early to say but it’s definitely something that’s on my radar and something I’d love to do.”
Following the release of Big Eyes, Burton will turn his attention to Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, which is set to arrive in 2016. So, could we finally see Beetlejuice 2 after that?
