Thora Birch says about HOCUS POCUS 2:

I’m excited for it. They’ve been talking about this reboot for five years. I’m excited to see what it all looks like. I know a little bit about a couple of ideas for stories, but I don’t know where it’s all going to fall at the end of the day. [I would return] If they would have me, depending on [the story]. I’m sure Dani’s not going to be selling crack in an alley anywhere, so I’m pretty open-minded.

Personally, I hope that Disney asks Birch to return. Selling crack in an alley or whatever. Because I don't know about you guys, but the thought of a HOCUS POCUS 2 without the original cast just seems like a waste of time to me. How about you? Make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think below! Now, what about Omri Katz, Vinessa Shaw, Jason Marsden, and Doug Jones, Disney!?

HOCUS POCUS was directed by Kenny Ortega from a screenplay written by Neil Cuthbert and Mick Garris (THE STAND). It starred Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker, Omri Katz, Thora Birch, and Vinessa Shaw, with Jason Marsden as the voice of Binks, and Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson.
