"One of the surprise delights of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is that Burton does not abandon his old pal, Jeffrey Jones, who was cancelled in 2002 when he turned out to not only be in possession of child pornography but had solicited a 14-year-old to pose nude for him. Jones doesn’t appear in the film as such, but his presence exists in very creative ways that I loved."

Personally I don't particularly find this delightful at all! Some people are perfectly deserving of being abandoned. It might be nice to reference a character from the earlier film, I guess, but honestly with someone like this I'd prefer a filmmaker to just not mention them at all.

I just can’t wait to see this. Your review makes me think it will hit all the points I was looking for from a sequel to this classic.
