The ghost with the most, Beetlejuice, has been a pop culture icon since the late '80s, and the recent sequel 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' has reignited the excitement for the franchise. Fans are now buzzing with the question: will there be a 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' 3? Michael Keaton, the actor behind the infamous bio-exorcist, has teased the possibility in an exclusive interview, leaving fans eagerly waiting for confirmation.

The original 'Beetlejuice' movie, directed by Tim Burton, was a quirky and dark comedy that quickly became a cult classic. Its unique blend of horror and humor, along with memorable performances by Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Alec Baldwin, captured the hearts of audiences. The sequel, arriving nearly four decades later, brought back the beloved characters and introduced new ones, proving that the franchise still has a lot of life (or afterlife) left in it.

Screen Rant's coverage suggests that while a third installment isn't confirmed, the success of the sequel could be a strong indicator of potential future projects. The film industry has seen a trend of successful legacy sequels, such as 'Top Gun: Maverick', which have led to additional follow-ups. This trend, coupled with the box office success of 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice', could mean that 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' might just become a reality.

Tim Burton and producer Tommy Harper have shared their thoughts on the matter. Harper seems open to the idea, noting that "anything could happen," while Burton appears more reserved, focusing on the quality and spirit of the sequel rather than committing to a new project. This cautious approach by Burton may stem from a desire to maintain the integrity of the franchise without succumbing to the pressures of turning it into a mere cash-grab.

The potential return of Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse is a thrilling prospect for fans. His portrayal of the mischievous and malevolent ghost is iconic, and the idea of him reprising the role once again has sparked a lot of excitement. The possibility of other original cast members, like Ryder, returning alongside new talent adds to the anticipation.

As we wait for official news on 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' 3, fans can only speculate and hope. The afterlife setting of the films allows for endless creative possibilities, and with the talented Tim Burton at the helm, anything is indeed possible. Will we see more of the Netherworld's chaotic charm? Only time will tell. For now, fans can relive the magic by watching the original and its sequel and keeping an eye out for any updates on the potential threequel.

Stay tuned for more news, and don't forget – say it once, say it twice, but dare we say it thrice? Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetle... well, you know the rest.
