Tim Burton’s upcoming Beetlejuice sequel in a new interview. Speaking to Variety from this year’s edition of the Marrakech Film Festival, the veteran actor discussed various topics relating to his latest projects, including his involvement in Beetlejuice 2. Dafoe straightforwardly explained his role, stating: “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,” he added. “But it’s coloured by the fact of who I was [when I was alive]: a B movie action star.”The sequel, scheduled for release in September 2024 – almost 40 years after its 1988 predecessor – will once again be helmed by Tim Burton.
While he has remained tight-lipped on the movie’s plot, Michael Keaton has been confirmed to return as the titular character, alongside original castmates Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara. Other actors confirmed for the film, in addition to Dafoe, include Justin Theroux and Jenna Ortega.In September, Burton stated that Beetlejuice 2 was “99 per cent done” before the SAG-AFTRA strike put production on hold, adding that the film would have wrapped in two days if not for the strike.“Literally, it was a day and a half,” Burton said. “I feel grateful we got what we got… We know what we have to do.
