The Maitlands have already served their time.
Michael Keaton’s ghost with the most is set to return in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but director Tim Burton has explained why his original spectral co-stars will not be joining him. Set 36 years after the original Beetlejuice movie, Burton’s new sequel will also see Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara reprising the roles of Lydia and Delia Deetz. However, in April this year, Geena Davis confirmed that neither she nor Alec Baldwin would be returning to reprise the roles of Barbara and Adam Maitland.
I think the thing was for me I didn't want to just tick any boxes. So even though they were such an amazing integral part of the first one, I was focusing on something else. Beetlejuice 2 Does Not Need The Maitlands To Return Adam and Barbara Deserve To Be At Peace. Close While the Maitlands’ absence from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice may disappoint some original fans, Burton’s decision is not particularly surprising given the amount of time that has passed. Though Keaton’s age difference is largely hidden behind his character’s distinct makeup, it would have been much harder for Davis and Baldwin to return to their ghostly characters.
In theory, it may have been possible for Burton to apply the same kind of digital degaing technology that is being increasingly used in other major blockbusters, but this approach would have significantly undermined his emphasis on practical effects. However, practical consideration aside, perhaps the biggest reason the Maitlands do not return in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is their story has already been successfully told.
