After 36 long years, Tim Burton has finally brought back Beetlejuice, his most loved creation who made his debut in 1988 and became an instant hit generating an active fanbase. However, now that Beetlejuice 2 aka Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is coming out soon, people are wondering if Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice or Beetlejuice 3 will ever happen or not. Tim Burton recently commented on the prospects and in this article find out all you need to know about the possibility of Beetlejuice 3!
Tim Burton Is Not So Optimistic About Beetlejuice 3
After the 81st Venice Film Festival, the cast of Beetlejuice 2, along with Tim Burton, arrived in London for the UK premiere of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, where Tim had a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter. He expressed his lack of optimism regarding the creation of Beetlejuice 3. In his remarks, he shared a humorous yet poignant insight into the timeline of the series.
“Well, if [the same] time frame goes on, I’ll be about 100. So maybe. I doubt it.”
Tim was further questioned about the motivation behind making a sequel to a film set in 1988, especially after 36 years. He explained that the character of Lydia, played by Winona Ryder, was a significant influence on his decision to revisit the story now rather than earlier.
“Well, because the Lydia character [Ryder] interested me, getting older is where you start thinking about what happens in life. [She] starts as a cool teenager. Relationships… Do you have kids? What are they like? What do you like? How do you change? These are all things that I know and experience. So it felt more right to make this now, rather than back in, like, 1989.”
From his comments, it’s clear that Tim Burton feels Beetlejuice 3 isn’t in the cards for him. However, if another director believes they can successfully carry on the legacy, there could still be a chance for a threequel, especially given the favorable early reviews of Beetlejuice 2. But as Tim himself hinted, the likelihood remains slim. Until there are further developments, fans will have to stay tuned for updates!
