Star of Hocus Pocus 2 Hopes to Reprise Role in Upcoming Sequel

Following the highly anticipated return of the original Hocus Pocus stars in Hocus Pocus 2 last year, fans were introduced to new characters, including Sam Richardson’s lovable Gilbert. With the confirmation of a third film in the series, Richardson expressed his keen interest in reprising his role, although various industry challenges may hinder the project’s progress. Despite the uncertainties surrounding the upcoming adventure and the absence of a release date, Richardson’s enthusiasm for returning to the enchanting world of Hocus Pocus remains unwavering.

When asked about the possibility of Gilbert making a comeback in Hocus Pocus 3, Richardson shared his hopes, stating, “I certainly hope so. I had such a great time playing Gilbert in Hocus Pocus 2. I’d go and play on that set any day of the week. You just tell me, I’ll be there.” However, with ongoing writers’ strikes and potential actors’ strikes looming, significant momentum on the project may be delayed.

In the original Hocus Pocus, the nefarious Sanderson sisters were resurrected when a virgin unintentionally lit the Black Flame Candle. In the sequel, Gilbert intentionally recreated the candle, having witnessed the sisters’ magic during his childhood, leading to their return. However, as the story unfolded, Gilbert realized his mistake and played a pivotal role in aiding the teenaged heroes in vanquishing the sisters. This reconciliation paves the way for a potentially more amicable return for Gilbert in the third film.

Although the initial release of Hocus Pocus in 1993 did not garner significant attention due to its summer launch and competition from films like Jurassic Park, its subsequent airings on various networks captured the hearts of a new generation. Over the years, the devoted following of Hocus Pocus has grown exponentially, enchanting viewers young and old with its Halloween-themed adventure, fostering a passionate fan base eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the beloved franchise.
