With the actor’s strike now over and Hollywood back in full swing, Michael Keaton finally had a chance to open up about returning to one of his most iconic roles for director Tim Burton. And this time we’re not talking about Batman.

Later this year, Keaton will reprise his role as Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a new sequel to the 1988 classic. The actor has been reluctant to come back as the demented demon, but he and Burton finally realized the challenge was worth it.
