William Sadler’s Death returns in behind-the-scenes photo from Bill & Ted 3

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A third installment of the BILL & TED franchise isn't something I ever expected to happen, but as production on BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC wrapped up over a week ago, I guess I'd better start believing. In addition to William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Theodore "Ted" Logan (Keanu Reeves) taking the stage once again, BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC features the return of several franchise veterans, including William Sadler's Death. In a Twitter post, franchise co-writer Ed Solomon shared a behind-the-scenes photo of Sadler in his Death make-up having a little snack at craft-services. Warm creole potato. Not exactly the souls of the damned, but I suppose it'll do.

The official synopsis for BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC:

When we last met Bill and Ted they were time-traveling teenagers trying to pass history class and win the battle of the bands. Once prophesized to save the universe with their rock and roll, middle age and the responsibilities of family have caught up with these two best friends who have not yet fulfilled their destiny. They’ve written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. With the fabric of time and space tearing around them, a visitor from the future warns our heroes that only their song can save life as we know it. Out of luck and fresh out of inspiration, Bill and Ted set out on a time travel adventure to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe as we know it. Together with the aid of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends, Bill and Ted find much, much more than just a song.

BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC is slated for an August 21, 2020 release.
