Breaking the record of “Stranger Things” is not an easy task. After all, this is Netflix’s flagship show. The streaming giant’s server crashed the night the second part of the show came out. Although the medium did not cause the streamer to crash, it was an absolute success if you take into account the number of viewers. Now it has become one of the most popular English shows of all time. As expected, without wasting any time, the streamer quickly resumed the show. And although we still haven’t received any information about the release of the second season, we have some casting updates. Interestingly, Michael Keaton is going to join Jenna Ortega in a dark comedy show.
According to Giant Freakin Robot, Michael Keaton is in talks to join Tim Burton’s show. If the actor does join the cast list, it will be his number of collaborations with Burton. The duo worked together several times in the 1980s. Burton created the iconic character Beetlejuice, whom Keaton played superbly. They worked together again at Dumbo. Before Christian Bale, Robert Pattinson or Ben Affleck became the Dark Knight, it was Keaton who initially popularized the vigilante. Therefore, it is highly likely that Keaton will reunite with Burton again in a few years.
The Batman star is also currently experiencing a career resurgence. He was affiliated with Marvel and played the villain Spider-Man. And soon he’ll be wearing a masked vigilante costume again for the upcoming “Flash.” His performance in Spotlight and Birdman also received critical acclaim.
Although this is great news, we still don’t have any information about his character. But we can certainly assume.
What role can Michael Keaton play with Jenna Ortega in Wednesday 2?
The star of “In the spotlight” can reprise his role as Beetlejuice in the second part of “Wednesday”. It would actually be a great crossover, as Jenna Ortega is reportedly joining the cast of “Beetlejuice 2”!
Nevertheless, the screenwriters still have the opportunity to write a full-fledged role of an actor. The finale featured the death of the Nevermore principal and the closure of the school. Surely the school will need a new director, and Keaton will perfectly cope with this role. Of course, this duo can bring a new atmosphere to the series, since Jenna already has a very clear idea of what she wants from Wednesday in the second season.
