HocusPocus2 finally premiered on Disney+, joining several other sequels like TopGunMaverick and Star Wars: The Force Awakens that took forever to come out.
Twenty-nine years after the release of the original Hocus Pocus, its long-delayed sequel finally premiered on Disney+. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy reprised their roles as the Sanderson sisters in the film, which struggles to recapture the original’s magic but still delivers a funny and surprisingly heartfelt adventure for all the family.
Hocus Pocus 2 The original Hocus Pocus followed an unsuspecting teenage virgin who brings back the dreaded Sanderson sisters after lighting a black candle on Halloween night. The sequel follows the same premise, with a new generation of teens repeating their antecessors’ mistakes and bringing back the three witches by mistake. Hocus Pocus 2 is more of the charming same that made the original such a hit.
The project has been in development for years, but it wasn’t until the 2010s that the film began to materialize. By 2016, Maverick was a reality, with Joseph Kosinski directing and Cruise reprising his role. Following numerous delays because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Top Gun, Maverick premiered on April 2022 and has since become a bonafide hit, grossing an obscene amount of money and defying every expectation.
Although creator George Lucas was adamant about his reluctance to do a sequel, he changed his tune once he sold the rights to Disney. Ford was also infamously unenthusiastic about a potential return to the franchise but ultimately returned for the sequel, mainly to have his character killed off.
