"I think there is now a better chance than ever... I miss that character," director Tim Burton told IGN about "Beetlejuice 2." "There's something that's cathartic and amazing about it. I think it's closer than ever," Burton said."

Unfortunately, per NME, Burton's camp denied the reports of "Beetlejuice 2." They have no plans for the film, as Burton is still busy with "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," which is due later this year.

There are also reports that "Beetlejuice 2" will not be a sequel. Parent Herald reported that the upcoming "Beetlejuice" will be a reboot and it will be called "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian." Since it is a reboot, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and the rest of the original cast will not be returning to reprise their roles.
