Two more Hocus Pocus stars confirm they're not returning for the Disney+ sequel.
Another day, another confirmation that a fan-favorite character from the original Hocus Pocus won't be back for the highly anticipated sequel. Following the official teaser trailer for the Disney+ original, another pair of characters from the first film have bene revealed to not be returning with Entertainment Weekly bringing word that Larry Bagby and Tobias Jelinek won't reprise the parts of Jay and Ice for the sequel.
"Unfortunately, I am not a part of it," Bagby told the outlet,"I never got an audition for that. But that would've been clever, even me just playing a cop or something." Jelinek added,"Jay and Ice will not be in Hocus Pocus 2. The 25-year bash, that really felt like Hocus Pocus 2, because we had Kenny Ortega directing, and it was the first time the original producers and all the kids were there....
The pair join a growing list of cast members from the 1993 original which includes Jason Marsden, the voice of cat Thackery Binx, and which also seems to include the targets of the witchy sisters in the original movie played by Omri Katz, Vinessa Shaw, and Thora Birch. Plenty of cast members from the original will return however including all three Sanderson sisters, played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, plus Doug Jones, who played their zombified henchman Billy Butcherson. The new film will see them targeting new characters Becca , Cassie , and Izzy . Others set to appear in the film include Tony Hale, Sam Richardson, Hannah Wadingham, Juju Brener, Froy Guiterrez, Taylor Henderson, and Nina Kitchen.
