Beetlejuice sequel official trailer released! Michael Keaton returns to iconic role as he haunts Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega in brand new sneak peek for Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

Bio-exorcist Beetlejuice is back and ready to haunt a whole new generation of the living.

The official trailer for Tim Burton’s highly anticipated sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, was finally released on Thursday, with stars Michael Keaton, 72, Winona Ryder, 52, and Catherine O’Hara, 70, all returning to their iconic roles.

Years have passed since the events of the original film, and now Lydia Deetz (Winona) is the mother of a teenage daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega).

Lydia assumed she would never hear from the mischievous entity again – until her daughter comes across an advertisement for a ‘Bio Exorcist’ during their attack.

It is Astrid who eventually brings Beetlejuice back by saying his name three times, despite her mother’s stern warnings.

“When I was a demon, a trickster demon terrorized our entire family and tried to force me to marry him,” Lydia warns Astrid. “I thought he was gone forever until you found this in the attic,” she said, referring to the poster.

“Who is Beetlejuice?” Astrid asks her mother.

“Never say that name!” Lydia angrily tells her daughter.

But after her daughter repeats his name, Lydia pleads, “No Astrid! I am serious!’

“If you say his name three times, he will appear,” she almost whispers.

Astrid casually says the demon’s name for the third time. “Beetlejuice,” she says, summoning the iconic entity.

Beetlejuice, dressed in his iconic black and white suit, appears before the duo. “The juice is loose,” he says.

Viewers will then see clips from their wild ride into the underworld, where they meet a whole host of new faces, played by Justin Theroux and Willem Dafoe.

Burton’s real-life girlfriend, Monica Bellucci, also stars as Beetlejuice’s wife.

“The living, the dead,” Lydia muses. ‘Can they coexist? That’s what we have to find out here.’

Both Dafoe and Bellucci’s characters are searching for Beetlejuice, while Theroux’s character is terrified of the creature.

“Where’s Beetlejuice?” Delores (Bellucci) hisses as she lifts a man into the air.

‘Where’s Beetlejuice!?’ Wolf Jackson (Dafoe) demands a Beetlejuice-like character.

Lydia and Rory (Theroux) are dumped in an office where they come face to face with Beetlejuice.

‘Beetle juice!?’ Lydia screams before he screams at them and magically sews her mouth shut.

Rory shrinks into the counter as he insists, “You’re a figment of my imagination!”

‘Real? Is this a figment of your imagination?’ Beetlejuice responds before releasing a green winged creature from his face, causing Rory to faint.

The sequel arrives 36 years after the release of the 1988 original, starring Keaton as the eponymous Beetlejuice, Winona as teenage Lydia, and Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin as a recently deceased couple who hire the bio-exorcist.

Burton directed the original and has returned to direct the sequel.

A synopsis for the sequel reads: “After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter Astrid discovers the mysterious model of the city in the attic and the portal to the afterlife is accidentally opened.’

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is released on September 6.
