Speaking back in 2014 about whether he'd return for a sequel, the NCIS star said that'd he'd be up for the opportunity if it presented itself. While Jason Marsden voiced him in cat form, Murray played him in human form at the beginning and end of the movie. "It would've been fun to have him as a gym teacher or a local cop in the area – or Tobias and I going out to the schools, maybe our kids are now bullies or being bullied, and we're having to come back and pick on the kids in high school again because our kids are getting bullied," he added.Īs fans of the witchy comedy will recall, 17th-century teen Thackery was cursed by the Sanderson sisters to live out the rest of his days as a black cat. "But that would've been clever – even me just playing a cop or something.Īs for how Bagby imagined Ice and Jay in 2022, he floated the idea of them still being "authoritative, mean, bully bad guys". "I never got an audition for that," he continued. "Unfortunately, I am not a part of it," Bagby said, admitting that his manager had submitted him for a small role as the owner of the Olde Salem Magic Shoppe. We don't condone kidnapping children or consuming their souls, but seeing him and Jay caged up in the Sanderson cottage was satisfying, to say the least.īut, alas, they didn't make a cameo either. Larry Bagby portrayed Ice, one half of the bullying duo who gave new kid Max a hard time and stole his shoes. I think be good for everyone who loved the original! I hope fans will go see it. "I feel bad for the original fan base saying we aren't because I'm sure they wanted to see us reprise our roles. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor said: "People have been asking, and unfortunately, I'm not in it. Though Katz admitted he would have "loved" to be a part of the sequel, he has no hardships and encourages fans to watch it. "People would say, 'They could be in the background!' and I'm like, really? You're going to put the leads of the first movie in the background and be satisfied? You're not going to be satisfied, you're going to be angry." You're trying to stay on track with story, even if they came in as a cameo. "It was very difficult to try to have them be a part of it because we did talk about it - painstakingly. "We wanted to weave in all of the people that the fans loved, and when you sat back with all the ingredients and story, you're like, how do we make this work?" she said. Hocus Pocus 2 director Anne Fletcher confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that Omri Katz, among some other OG characters, would not be returning for the sequel due the logistics of fitting them all in with the new story they had planned. Max – aka the "airhead virgin" who lit the black flame which brought the witchy trio back to life – didn't come back for round two either.
