Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” is the follow-up to the 1988 comedy-horror classic. Michael Keaton returns as the foul-mouthed, shape-shifting ghoul joined by new cast members Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci and Justin Theroux. Also reprising their roles from the original film are Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara.
“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” sees the Deetz clan move back into their Winter River home after a sudden death in the family. When Lydia’s (Ryder) rebellious teen daughter Astrid (Ortega) discovers a portal to the afterlife hidden in the basement, the name of the mischievous spirit Beetlejuice is inevitably repeated three times, inviting him to wreak havoc in the Deetz family home once again. - SF&F Movie Club: Venom 3Event Cinemas Cairns Central, Cairns City, QL

Releasing in October, this the final chance to catch Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom in Venom 3: The Last Dance.
Sony's Spider-Man Universe will continue with Venom: The Last Dance, which has been confirmed to follow up the 2021 sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and the movie's cast and plot details are sure to be consistent with the franchise. The SSU's Venom series follows the antihero Marvel Comics character Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote affixed to his body, which sometimes takes him over, gives him super strength and other abilities, and occasionally bites people's heads off. The last time Venom was seen on the big screen, though, was in a brief crossover with the MCU timeline.
The plot of Venom: The Last Dance may have been hinted at by the events in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which featured a number of villains from past Sony Spider-Man franchises, any one of which could be aligned with Venom's universe. Or, Green Goblin, Electro, or Doctor Octopus could have been sent to Eddie's world by mistake, a la Vulture in Morbius. There are a number of Marvel characters Hardy could fight in Venom 3, including the SSU's own Morbius and Kraven*.* The sequel could also introduce Prowler, Knull, or Black Cat, as each is historically a rival of the symbiote in the comics.
