You don’t have to say his name three times to get a look at “Beetlejuice” 2.

Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega and Justin Theroux introduced a sneak peek of the upcoming highly anticipated film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” July 18 on TODAY, featuring the same kind of witty dialogue and vivid imagery that helped make the original “Beetlejuice” so popular.

A first look at the full trailer for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” also aired exclusively on TODAY.

In March, Warner Bros. shared the first trailer for the upcoming “Beetlejuice” sequel, which will once again feature Keaton in the title role as the devilish demon. The sneak peek introduced viewers to the new and returning characters, before getting the first glimpse at Beetlejuice himself.

The trailer is set to a special rendition of Harry Belafonte’s “Day-O” as the cast is seen at a graveyard. Ortega is seen uncovering the model of Winter River, before the black-and-white-striped-suit-wearing villain makes his appearance.

“The juice is loose,” he says, as Winona Ryder’s Lydia is seen with a shocked look on her face.

When is the ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ release date?

The “Beetlejuice” sequel is scheduled to be released Sept. 6.

The original 1988 movie revolved around dead couple Adam and Barbara Maitland (played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis, respectively) who enlist the help of the title character in order to help rid their home of the family that moves into their house, with disastrous results.

Who’s in the cast of ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’?

Keaton will be joined by Ryder, who played Lydia Deetz in the original “Beetlejuice,” and “Wednesday” star Ortega will play her daughter. Theroux will also appear in the movie, while Catherine O’Hara, who also starred in the original film, will reprise her role.

There has been no word whether Baldwin will return, while Davis has already said she has no plans to appear in the film.

“Unless it’s a surprise to me, no,” she told TODAY.com in 2023 when asked about appearing in the sequel. “But I think it makes sense because we told the story of the Maitlands, and in that world, ghosts don’t age. You stay in the same clothes you died in and everything.”

Dafoe had also previously confirmed he will be in the movie.

“I play a police officer in the afterlife, so I’m a dead person. And in life I was a B-movie action star, but I had an accident and that’s what sent me to the other side,” he told Variety in 2023.

Two key stars from the original movie have died since its release. Glenn Shadix, who played trendy designer Otho, died in 2010, and Sylvia Sidney, who played the afterlife caseworker helping the Maitlands, died in 1999.

Is there a ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ trailer ?

The full trailer for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” was released July 18 (see above!), and a teaser trailer dropped March 21 (below). The clips gives a closer look at the new and returning cast members, and get fans excited to see Keaton’s Beetlejuice on full display.

Details so far on ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’

Plot points about “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” have been kept under wraps, although director Tim Burton did peel back the curtain a little bit, saying the new movie gets underway with a death in the family.

“That’s all I will say,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “There’s something that happens that sets things in motion.”

When asked if the person who dies is Lydia’s father, Charles Deetz (played in the original movie by Jeffrey Jones), Burton didn’t tip his hand.

“We’ll see,” he said.
