In the first trailer from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, he is seen appearing in the attic of the Deetz family home.

Winona Ryder returns as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O’Hara as her mother Delia, while Wednesday star Jenna Ortega is Lydia’s daughter Astrid.

The film, again directed by Tim Burton, is out in September.

The sequel was first confirmed during a panel event at CinemaCon 2023.

Actress Winona had a big comeback in Hollywood a few years ago thanks to Stranger Things.

Playing a terrified mum who believes her son was abducted by unseen spirits, Winona drew on her own tough times to create a powerful lead performance.

She said of the role: “I spent two months basically crying every day.

“To ­sustain that all day, you have to drink a lot of water and stay in this dark place. It was exhausting.

“It was draining but in the end, it was gratifying.

“I’m so sick of people shaming women for being sensitive or vulnerable. It’s so bizarre to me.”
