To call him, utter his name three times. Michael Keaton returns in Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” as everyone’s favorite boisterous spirit.

A picture of “Schitt’s Creek” actress Catherine O’Hara and “Stranger Things” star Winona Ryder, together with newcomers Justin Theroux (“The Leftovers”) and Jenna Ortega (“Wednesday”), was also released by the studio.
