It took thirty years to get Hocus Pocus 2, but it sounds like the third one will be a lot sooner than that.
Bette Midler said in a new interview that they are still"gingerly and gently" developing a third Hocus Pocus movie, just two years after the second dropped on Disney+ . Director Anne Fletcher and writer Jen D'Angelo are reportedly coming back for the third movie, which could pit the Sanderson sisters against the town of Salem.
Midler had previously said that she is"jealous" of actors who get to revisit their favorite character, and that while she doesn't know what a third Hocus Pocus would look like, she would sign on as long as the other key creative talents were on board. Last summer, Disney confirmed it was being developed.
"Now, they're kind of talking about a third, very gingerly and very gently," Midler said on The Jess Cagle Show."They are. They're talking about a third. The second one was a huge success." The original Hocus Pocus didn't set the box office on fire, but found a cult following on home video. After being a hit on VHS, it has endured as a cult classic in the vein of Jim Henson's The Labyrinth. A wave of nostalgia for '80s and early '90s movies likely helped bring it back to the attention of Disney, who greenlit a sequel for 2022.
