Bette Midler unsure if Hocus Pocus 3 will happen

• Bette Midler is doubtful if there will be another “Hocus Pocus” movie.
• She returned to the character of witch Winnie Sanderson.
• Her co-stars have discussed the possibility of an animated movie.

About 30 years after the first film’s debut, the 77-year-old actress returned to the character of witch Winnie Sanderson in the fantasy comedy sequel for Disney+ last year, but she has since acknowledged she is unsure whether there will be additional episodes in the series.

Asked about the prospect, she told E! News:”I’m not sure. Everything is weird. I don’t know, maybe. Who knows?”

Bette recently stated that she would “of course” sign up to join fellow Sanderson sisters Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy in a third installment of the series, although she is unsure how it could work in terms of the plot.

She said: “If there was a third one, of course, I’d sign on, but I don’t know how. I can’t imagine what the story would be, but I love Winifred, Sarah, Mary, and our relationship. It’s good for women. We stick together through hell and high water, but we do cause mayhem, and not many women cause that much mayhem!”

Her co-stars have discussed the possibility of an animated movie.

Sarah said recently: “Kathy had a good idea that the third one should be animated.

“Of course I’d be happy to have a conversation. It just depends on what Kathy and Bette want!”

Bette has said that she had never anticipated creating a follow-up to the 1993 cult blockbuster.

Asked if she ever expected the release of ‘Hocus Pocus 2’, she said: “I didn’t until the day finally came. And then, I realised, ‘Oh, we’re really gonna do this.’ This was a dream come true, it really was.

“After I realised it was actually a phenomenon, I started asking people around my age, ‘Don’t you think they would be interested in a sequel?’ This was like 15 years ago, or something like that. And here we are.”
