When the absolutely terribly titled "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" arrives in theaters later this year, we’ll see the return of several characters from the original film. The "Beetlejuice 2" cast includes the return of Michael Keaton of course, as well as Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, but another actor is nowhere to be seen. Some new "Beetlejuice 2" details might shed some light on why the character of Charles Deetz is missing. Jeffrey Jones played the role of Lydia’s father Charles Deetz in the original "Beetlejuice" cast, and while the reason the actor won’t be in the sequel likely has a lot to do with Jones running afoul of the law a few years back, the way the character was going to be written out of the sequel was less clear... especially since the rest of the family is in the movie. But EW has revealed that the "Beetlejuice" sequel will open with three generations of Deetz women, O’Hara’s Delia, Ryder’s Lydia, and Jenna Ortega’s Astrid, Lydia’s daughter, dealing with a death in the family.
