Say his name three times and he will be summoned.
Michael Keaton is back as everyone's favorite rambunctious spirit in Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice."
Warner Bros released two photos offering a sneak peak at the sequel to the 1988 cult classic, including one with the "Batman" actor donning his striped black-and-white suit and frizzy hair. Fans were greeted with a splash of nostalgia as the star looks just like his ghostly self again.
The studio also revealed a photo of fellow returning cast members, "Schitt's Creek" Catherine O'Hara and "Stranger Things" star Winona Ryder, as well as newcomers Justin Theroux ("The Leftovers") and Jenna Ortega ("Wednesday"). The four are seen standing side by side in stylish black attire at what could be a cemetery.
Who are the characters in 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice'?
Ryder will reprise her leading role as Lydia Deetz while O'Hara returns to play her mother Delia Deetz. Ortega, who has experience in haunted roles after playing Wednesday Addams in Burton’s Netflix series, will portray Lydia's daughter Astrid. Theroux will play Rory, with few details known on his role.
Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe will also appear in the film. The "Spiderman" actor told Variety in November that he is playing a police officer and a former B-movie action star in the afterlife.
Keaton's return to the franchise comes after he portrayed his Batman once again in DC's "The Flash" last year.

Sequel comes after failed attempt and years of talk
Production for the film began in 2023 after years of talks and a failed attempt titled "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian."
In 2019, Burton told USA TODAY that he doubted the sequel would come into fruition, despite the movie spawning a Broadway musical that year.
