Also joining the cast is Justin Theroux (currently starring on HBO’s White House Plumbers), whose character is still under wraps.
The plot of the upcoming sequel is also being kept top secret, although it’s likely someone will say Beetlejuice’s name three times to allow him entry into the living world to wreak even more havoc.
