Speculation has been rife regarding the return of Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson in the upcoming Hocus Pocus 3. While the actor has shown interest, he remains unsure about his confirmation for this project, leaving the door open for future discussions.
In a recent inquiry about his possible involvement in Hocus Pocus 3, Jones expressed that he is open to the idea. However, he noted his lack of information about the timeline for when he might receive an offer, stating that he has not yet been contacted about reprising his role.
Jones elaborated that it is probable he won’t be called back for Hocus Pocus 3 until the three main actresses are officially on board. He explained that this procedure mirrored the approach taken in previous films of the franchise.
Doug Jones discusses his potential return as Billy Butcherson in Hocus Pocus 3
During a conversation with Screen Rant on October 4, 2024, Doug Jones shed light on his uncertainty about joining Hocus Pocus 3 and shared insights into the production process. He emphasized that the timing of his approach for the project largely depends on securing the lead roles first. He remarked:
“No, unfortunately, you know as much as I do about this. I saw the same press release that Disney put out that you did and everybody did, that they had a part three in development. But I’ll tell you, I’m not going to be the first one they call, because even with Hocus Pocus 2, I got a call later in the pre-production game, because they needed to secure the three ladies first.”
He went on to add:
“Once their contracts were all signed and dated, that’s when I got a call that they were going ahead and so, then, Billy’s back in the second one. So would I do a part three? Abso-freaking-lutely, I would. If that offer comes, yes.”
Jones emphasized his readiness to participate should an opportunity arise for him in Hocus Pocus 3. Nevertheless, he indicated that he is not privy to the current status of the film’s production or when he might be contacted.
Additionally, he expressed his uncertainty regarding the cast for the new film, revealing that he has no insight into whether the main characters have been approached at this time.
