There has been a lot of talk over the last couple of years about a sequel to the 1988 movie, where Ryder took on the role of Lydia Deetz.

Tim Burton has been linked to this new film project while it had been rumoured that both Ryder and Michael Keaton were wanted to reprise their roles.

However, this is a project that is not set in stone and Ryder didn't have any news about the status of the film and her role in it. But she did say that it would 'great' if it was to happen.

Speaking to Collider, the actress said: "I don't really know what's going on with that. Obviously, it was an iconic film. The only way it could really ever be done is with Tim [Burton] and Michael [Keaton]. I don't know. There's something that really resonates with all ages, with that film. It's interesting.

"I think it would be great if it happened, if it was the right circumstances. Gosh, you know you're getting older when they're making TV shows, sequels or plays for things that you did. It's very flattering and very humbling, indeed. I heard they were making another Little Women. Mine was the fifth one, so that's kudos to Louisa May Alcott. It's just very flattering."

Beetlejuice was only the third film of Ryder's career when she teamed up with Burton back in 1988 - the actress and director would go on to work together again in Edward Scissorhands.

Beetlejuice was the second feature film of Burton's career and came three years after he made his debut with Pee-wee's Big Adventure. It remains one of his movie iconic and loved movies.

As for Ryder, she is set to return to the small screen in television series Stranger Things, which she is currently filming.
