However, she still experiences occasional nightmares about Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), the mischievous ghost from the first film. We also meet Lydia\u2019s manager, Rory (Justin Theroux), who is her romantic partner.<\/p>\n<p>Lydia\u2019s mother, Delia Deetz (Catherine O\u2019Hara), runs an art gallery in the city called The Human Canvas. Lydia\u2019s relationship with her daughter, Astrid (Jenna Ortega), is strained. Delia criticizes Lydia for preferring ghosts over spending time with her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>In a brief but notable appearance, Danny DeVito plays a janitor in the afterlife who encounters Beetlejuice\u2019s ex-wife, Delores (Monica Bellucci). Delores is on a rampage to find Beetlejuice and ends up consuming the janitor\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n<p>The Deetz family is forced to return to Winter River due to a tragedy: Delia\u2019s husband, Charles, has died after being lost at sea and eaten by a shark. This sad event prompts Lydia to reunite with Astrid, and they head to the real ghost house in Winter River for the funeral. During this trip, we learn more about the original characters, Adam and Barbara Maitland (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), and the recent loss of Lydia\u2019s husband, Richard, who died during an expedition.<\/p>\n<p>The funeral is disrupted when Rory proposes to Lydia, planning the wedding for Halloween\u2014just two days away. Astrid senses something off about Rory and leaves in frustration.<\/p>\n<p>Beetlejuice is reintroduced in the afterlife, where he now runs a call center for troubled souls. He has a loyal assistant, Bob (Nick Kellington), and is summoned by Wolf Jackson (Willem Dafoe), an afterlife police officer. Beetlejuice lies to Wolf, claiming he doesn\u2019t know Delores, although he admits to Bob that Delores is his ex-wife and the leader of a soul-sucking cult. Delores believes capturing Beetlejuice will grant her immortality.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Astrid meets Jeremy Frazier (Arthur Conti) in Winter River. They quickly become close, and Jeremy manipulates Astrid into using a spell from the Handbook For The Recently Deceased to switch their souls. It turns out Jeremy is a dangerous ghost who had killed his parents years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Lydia seeks Beetlejuice\u2019s help to retrieve Astrid, but Beetlejuice demands that Lydia marry him in return. He even makes her sign a blood contract. Jeremy tries to switch back to the living world but ends up in Hell instead.<\/p>\n<p>Lydia and Astrid head to the afterlife train station, where Astrid finds her father, Richard, who works there. Richard helps Lydia rescue Astrid. In a twist, Delia dies suddenly after being bitten by snakes, leading to her arrival in the afterlife, where she is shocked to learn of her death.<\/p>\n<p>The film concludes with a dramatic family reunion and Beetlejuice keeping his promise to Lydia, providing a mix of supernatural antics and emotional moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"beetlejuice-2-ending-what-happened-to-betelgeuse\"><em>Beetlejuice 2 Ending: What Happened to Betelgeuse?<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words [.text-message+&]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"954c4c89-20a4-4e57-8959-5fcd50f22c76\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark\">\n<p>As Lydia and Astrid return to the living world, they find Rory waiting for them at the church for their wedding. But things take a wild turn when Beetlejuice, with Delia\u2019s help, crashes the ceremony. Beetlejuice wants to expose Rory as a fraud who is only after Lydia\u2019s money. To do this, he uses a truth serum on Rory, making him admit that he doesn\u2019t believe Lydia can actually see ghosts.<\/p>\n<p>While Beetlejuice\u2019s interference allows him to pursue his own wish to marry Lydia, it also prevents her from tying the knot with someone who doesn\u2019t genuinely care for her. The wedding quickly descends into chaos as Wolf Jackson and his officers, along with Delores, all arrive at the church.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of the uproar, Astrid uses the Handbook For The Recently Deceased to summon the dreaded sandworm into the church. The giant sandworm wreaks havoc, devouring both Delores and Rory.<\/p>\n<p>Beetlejuice\u2019s plan hits a snag when Astrid discovers a loophole in his contract. Lydia, seizing the opportunity, says Beetlejuice\u2019s name three times, causing him to inflate and burst.<\/p>\n<p>After the chaos, Wolf takes Delia back to the afterlife. She says a heartfelt goodbye to Lydia and Astrid before reuniting with Charles on the soul train, finding their own version of a happy ending as they head into the great beyond.<\/p>\n<p>In a final twist, a dream sequence shows Beetlejuice still haunting Lydia\u2019s dreams, hinting that his attempts to marry her are far from over.<\/p>\n<p><em>Beetlejuice 2<\/em> is now playing in theaters worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beetlejuice 2 is set to hit theaters 36 years after the original film, bringing the Deetz family back to the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":51146,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[14772,16920,14774,3213],"class_list":["post-51133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film","tag-beetlejuice","tag-beetlejuice-2-ending-explained","tag-beetlejuice-beetlejuice","tag-jenna-ortega"],"reading_time":"5 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
