Right now, your guess is as good as ours, but there are a few (very small) clues we can use to speculate. They'll be joining some of the original cast reprising their roles, including Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse (duh), Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, and the iconic Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz. A few other big-name newbies to the franchise-Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe, and Justin Theroux-have also been cast in the sequel.
