    After decades of false starts and rumors, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2 is finally on its way. Of course, the official sequel still had its own set of problems due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, but production is now set to resume. On top of that exciting news, it looks like the first look at Michael Keaton‘s Beetlejuice appears to have leaked online

    Actor Michael Keaton first portrayed the character for the original 1988 film. While he’s now 72-years-old, Keaton has aged remarkably well, and the character has enough makeup that he still fits in just perfectly. If the below image is indeed real, then there’s no doubt that he’s nailed the character yet again all these years later.

    Here’s the first look image featuring Beetlejuice below, which was shared via X by @EpicFilmGuys:

    For those doubting the legitimacy of the image, there were users in the comments who seemed to piece it together. The man being injected with truth serum is unknown, but some users were able to identify him by using much older set photos. One such photo featured Justin Theroux, who was seen working with Winona Ryder.

    As one can see, his costume does appear to match the one featured in the first image with Michael Keaton’s character:

    Of course, the image should be taken with a grain of salt without any official announcement. But it does seem to fit what we know about the film. On that note, plot details are scarce, but with production beginning again – it seems like we could know more in the very near future. Especially now that the film is also expected to meet its September 2024 release date.

    Fans will be able to see Beetlejuice 2 in theaters on September 6, 2024. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates on Tim Burton’s highly-anticipated sequel starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Jenna Ortega as we have them.
