The pair haven’t collaborated since 1992’s Batman Returns, yet Variety now reports Keaton is in talks to join the cast of Disney’s live-action Dumbo movie, where he’ll join a roster of other frequent Burton collaborators, Eva Green and Danny DeVito.
Beetlejuice 2 looks no closer to becoming a reality, but at least Michael Keaton and Tim Burton look to be getting the chance to reunite once more.
There’s no word on when Disney is hoping to release the film, although the studio is reportedly close to starting production.
He’s set to play the film’s main villain, a man who acquires the circus from DeVito’s character in order to exploit the titular elephant and its mother.
