Is Johnny Depp In Beetlejuice 2? The Tim Burton Reunion Rumors Explained

Throughout both of their Hollywood careers, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have worked together on several projects, with the latter portraying multiple of Burton’s most iconic characters. They first worked together in 1990 on the film «Edward Scissorhands,» with Depp in the title role opposite Winona Ryder as Kim Boggs. Burton and Depp reunited four years later for «Ed Wood,» followed by collaborations on «Sleepy Hollow,» «Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,» «Corpse Bride,» and «Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street» throughout the late ’90s and 2000s.

Burton and Depp’s latest collaborations date back to the early 2010s, and, unfortunately, they’re far from their best. First and foremost was «Alice in Wonderland» from 2010, where Depp played the Mad Hatter. While this production wasn’t a major critical success, it did at least make over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. On the other hand, Burton and Depp’s last effort fell short on all fronts. The 2012 dark fantasy «Dark Shadows» was a critical and financial failure that remains a blemish on both Depp and Burton’s filmographies over a decade after its release.
