Original Hocus Pocus stars discuss whether they would return for threequel

Stars from the original 1993 classic Hocus Pocus have thrilled horror-lovers after revealing they would be interested in returning for a third instalment of the spooky series.

The sequel was released almost 30 years after the Sanderson sisters first caused chaos in Salem, starring some of the original cast members for a second round of witchy action.

With the spellbinding success of Hocus Pocus 2, there is talk that a third film could charm its way onto our screens.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, stars from the original film Vinessa Shaw, Omri Katz and Jason Marsden have all said they would like to reprise their roles if Disney were to green-light the threequel.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Shaw said: "It's such a fun story, and obviously having us reminisce about this makes it that much more fun and the fondness keeps growing.”

Marsden added he would "absolutely" return, while Katz said he’d be “100 percent down”.

"The witches are 30 years older, so we've got to get this done sooner than later. We can't wait another 30 years," Katz says.

"Sorry, it's the truth! I'm sure Bette does not want to be doing this at age 98."

The director of Hocus Pocus 2 Anne Fletcher explained that she couldn't find a place for all the original cast members in the sequel, and would rather not include them at all than give them small cameos for the sake of it.

Thona Birch didn’t reprise her beloved role as Dani in the sequel despite being offered, but she had to decline as she was filming for Netflix ’s Addams Family spin-off Wednesday.

Hocus Pocus 2 is available to stream now on Disney+.
