After an exhausting legal confrontation for defamation against his ex-wife Amber Heard and pending the final verdict of the jury, the name of Johnny Depp has once again appeared in the headlines of the news, but this time talking about what most he likes and what he knows how to do best: act.
Since before the controversial trial of the century began, rumors began to spread that there was a possibility that Depp could be part of the cast of the sequel to the 80’s film, beetlejuice. But that rumor grew even more when an alleged call sheet addressed to the interpreter of Willy Wonka was leaked on Twitter. In addition, some users showed the screenshot showing that when searching for the “Beetlejuice 2” movie on IMDB, the actor appears as part of the cast along with Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton.
After the sequel to the great success of the film released in 1988 was confirmed in March 2022, fans can not wait to know more details about the second part that is expected to have its premiere in the year 2025. In addition, it seems that The news that Johnny Depp is part of this project has them very excited to see him again on the big screen.
It should be noted that Johnny Depp would not replace the role of actor Michael Keaton, since since the sequel to the film was confirmed, it was said that both he and Winona would play the same characters again. For this reason, the interpreter of Jack Sparrow would take the character of one of the deceased humans that Beetlejuice has to help.

The rumors of fans of the possible integration of Depp to this project is not such a far-fetched idea, since the film is produced by Tim Burton, an old friend of the actor with whom he has worked eight times, on projects such as Scissorhands, The legend of the Headless Horseman, Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryamong other.
If these rumors are confirmed and materialized, this would be the ninth time that Burton and Depp have collaborated together on a film. But that’s not all, because the actor who gave life to Barnabas Collins would work with his ex-fiancée Winona Ryder.
We can only wait, but first we must know the resolution of the trial that Johnny Depp has just starred in and then learn more about the actors who will be part of the cast of Beetlejuice 2.
