With the arrival of the long-awaited sequel to Beetlejuice, more than 30 years after the release of the original, many fans have been wondering about aspects related to the project, such as its soundtrack and which actors will return.
The songs that set the tone for the first installment not only became mega-popular, but it was “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” by Harry Belafonte that became a trademark of the story.
In the early previews of the new horror-comedy, you can hear how the iconic melody has been used once again, but this time, it’s expected that there will be some more current tracks but with the same rock and gothic vibe.
Will My Chemical Romance participate in the soundtrack?
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will not only return with more wild adventures in the hybrid world of the dead and the living, but it will also do so with some of the best songs, like its iconic Day-O (The Banana Boat Song).
Rumors about the bands and artists that will be present in the movie quickly surfaced, as well as the crazy theories of fans who have been awaiting the sequel for over 10 years.
One of the strongest rumors asserts that My Chemical Romance will be one of the main musical acts creating songs for the drama. It all started after Mark Barnes, a film composer, posted on his Instagram.

There, he tagged the band led by Gerard Way, but it was quickly edited to only mention their work within the project, where he assured there would be big names collaborating.
“Now that it’s been announced, I’m super excited for you to see (and hear the music of) Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. There are some big names featured in the soundtrack so keep an eye out 😉 #beetlejuicebeetlejuice #beetlejuicebeetlejuicebeetlejuice #beetlejuice #dannyelfman #markbarnes #markeybee”, he wrote.
There’s nothing confirmed yet, as neither the band members nor any official source from the movie has made any comments or announcements about how real these rumors are. However, we can expect it to be something big.
The soundtrack will feature an eclectic mix of musical styles, from haunting orchestral pieces to catchy pop and rock songs. The music reflects the playful and sometimes macabre tone, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere.
