Fans saw the cute 90s couple in the 1990s Gothic romance, Edward Scissorhands. And if the persisting rumors have any truth in them, they might even see the ex-couple once again on big screens. As per Giant Freekin Robot, the City Of Lies actor will have a cameo in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2. This upcoming fantasy comedy also features two of Netflix’s known faces, Ryder and Jenna Ortega. It will be a sequel to the 1988 horror comedy film under the same name that received a satisfying critical response.
Burton and the Oscar nominee worked together before in the 2016 fantasy adventure Alice Through the Looking Glass and the 2012 Dark Shadows. All three of the actors, Depp, Ryder, and Ortega, are popular for their roles in the horror fantasy genre. Therefore, it is safe to say that the ensemble will add their unique flair to the 2024 film. Even the filmmaker himself gave mixed signals when asked whether who would be directing Depp. Burton told Reuters last year that he would work with Depp “If the right thing was around.”
