Johnny Depp – To Reunite With Ex Girlfriend Winona Ryder For THIS Film?

Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp share a romantic history that began with a meet-cute scenario. And along the way, the two even starred in a movie together, Edward Scissorhands, and got engaged. But their on-again, off-again romance eventually ended. However, rumors have swirled that the two could reunite for a new movie. 

Winona and Johnny both reportedly got included in a cast list for Beetlejuice 2. In addition, Michael Keaton’s name appeared on the list. That provided enough for various reports about Ryder and Depp reuniting, according to Geo TV.

And fans gushed over the possibility. For instance, one wrote, “Thrilled to see Johnny Depp added to the cast of Beetlejuice 2.” And another commented on the Beetlejuice 2 role while also offering more positive news. “I’m happy for Johnny!!

The original Beetlejuice became a classic in 1988. Starring Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, and Michael Keaton, the plot involved a family moving into a home where the spirits of a deceased couple reside. What to do? Bring on a mean spirit to banish the family! Director Tim Burton received much of the credit for the deliciously eerie results. 

Johnny Depp And Winona Ryder – Share A Romantic Past

The sequel, Bettlejuice 2, will take some time to fully cast and film. But Johnny’s former girlfriend, Winona, described her enthusiasm for the project. “I’m definitely excited and I’m really hopeful that it’ll happen. The only way we would do it is if everything was perfect and we had all the people – obviously Michael and obviously Tim,” she said per Distractify. 

Ryder would return to her role as Lydia Deetz in the film sequel. But she mentioned only Michael Keaton and Tim Burton in discussing the potential. However, Winona may want to hold back on spilling any spoilers, leaving the door open for Depp to join the cast in the future. 

And the former couple’s romance in itself could provide a possible love story. After they met at a New York City film premiere in 1989, Depp experienced immediate love. “I was getting a Coke,” Johnny once recalled. And then he saw Winona. “It was a classic glance, like, the zoom lenses in West Side Story, and everything else gets foggy.” But the fog cleared enough for the two to became engaged just a few months later, noted Us magazine.

And Winona felt the same instant love with Johnny. “I had my first real relationship with Johnny, a fiercely deep love that I don’t know that I’ll ever [have again],” she once confessed. However, after three years, the two split. Could a reunion result in love the second time around?
