Mother Witch Hannah Waddingham said she’s very interested in reprising her role in the next Hocus Pocus movie… with a song.

Although Emmy-winner Hannah Waddingham was only in one scene at the start of Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, fans have been clamoring for her reappearance in the third movie.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Waddingham said she hasn’t been asked to be in Hocus Pocus 3.

“I love that there’s been all this talk, and I’m here for it,” she said.

“I feel like I just barely, barely scratched the surface or put half an eyelash on for her. I feel like there is far more for the Mother Witch to cause magnificent mayhem,” the Ted Lasso star continued.

The film’s screenwriter said that Hannah Waddingham’s character as Mother Witch is that mother. In the sequel Mother Witch gave the Book of Spells to the young Sanderson sisters.

Waddingham said she’s interested in reprising the role.

“I would be so down for that. I mean, for one, Salvador Perez’s costume needs another trot out for sure, and my cape that I wouldn’t let them cut, definitely needs another swish,” she stated.
