“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is poised to be not just the hit of September, but potentially one of the highest-grossing films of the year’s final months. Audiences worldwide are excited to see Tim Burton’s return to the big screen and the revival of the bio-exorcist that made him iconic.
The sequel reunites the original leads—Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara—while introducing new faces, including Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, and Monica Bellucci. It’s a truly star-studded cast!
Naturally, with Beetlejuice back, fans are buzzing with anticipation about the possibility of a third installment. Could a post-credits scene hint at another return? Find out if anything special happens after the picture ends!
Is there anything after the credits in ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’?
The truth is, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” does not have a post-credits scene. However, the movie’s ending leaves several questions unanswered, paving the way for a potential third installment in the Deetzes’ story.
Without spoiling too much, we can say that the last moments of the picture reveal that Winona Ryder’s character, Lydia Deetz, experiences a nightmare that feels too real to be dismissed as mere imagination. This raises the possibility that the monster who tormented her adolescence may return once again.
In other words, Burton hints that the demon hasn’t finished haunting Lydia and her family, suggesting that a third part could be a possibility. Yet, the director has often expressed his reluctance to do sequels.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he noted that it was a miracle that he even directed “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”. When asked about continuing the franchise, Burton joked that with the 36-year gap between the first and second films, he’d be around 100 years old by the time a third title could come out. He added, “So maybe. I doubt it.”
Thus, while “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” leaves its ending open for interpretation, it appears that Burton may feel the horror-comedy franchise has run its course. Fans will have to look forward to his work on the second season of “Merlina” on Netflix for his next creative venture, but probably not another “Beetlejuice” sequel.
