Only a movie like “Return of the Witches” could give us a charming zombie like Billy Butcherson. Doug Jones’ character also returns in the sequel, “The Witches Return 2”, which will debut very soon on Disney +. Thanks to Weekly entertainment We already have the first image of the character in the film, and it must be said that the years do not pass by him. Advantages of being already dead.
Doug Jones, who is back under Billy’s prosthetics, wig, and rags, tells the magazine that this time the zombie will have more to say. We will also learn a little more about his past and he says he will become an important ally for the protagonists of the sequel, played by Belissa Escobedo, Whitney Peak and Lilia Buckingham, before the return of the Sandersons (Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker) . He will also seek love, and at least You will find a nice friendship with Sam Richardson’s character, Gilbert, owner of the occult shop and tourist attraction he opened in the witches’ house in Salem..
While Billy’s return is a joy, unfortunately we have two major victims in “Return of the Witches 2”. This was revealed by the director, Anne Fletcher Omri Katz and Vinessa Shaw will not return in the sequel as Max and Allison for a new assault on the witches.. Fletcher explains why: “It was very difficult trying to get them in, because we talked about them, painstakingly. You have to try to keep the story on track, even if we included them as a cameo. People would say ‘they should be in the background!’ and I would say “really? Will you overshadow the protagonists of the first and settle for it? Don’t be satisfied, get angry “. This is why they have chosen not to include them, to make the new protagonists shine, and the Sandersons, of course. Who was coming back was Thora Birch as Dani, but her role in the “Wednesday” series made it impossible to balance the schedules.
Flashback and origin story
“Return of the Witches 2” will be released. September 30 on Disney + and for Winifred fans, Sarah and Mary Sanderson will be an unmissable appointment because they will discover very interesting details of the witches’ past. The director reveals that the film begins with a flashback in which they expand on the mythology of the sisters and reveal that they weren’t always witches: “In the opening sequence of the film we discover a little story of the witches and Billy. Let’s take a look at the Billy thing and the world they lived in and what happened to the witches. I always lost it in the first. Like why witches are the way they are. I asked myself this question, the script came to my mind and I loved that they opened with the 17th century. I went a little further because I wanted to emphasize, albeit slightly, the idea that the 17th century and today are one and the same. There are no differences. I wanted to emphasize the irony of this. But with the joy of being able to see the young versions of the characters, have fun and understand the what and why of what happened to them “. It turns out that the new protagonists will be closely related to the Sandersons, so some aspects of them, like their hair, can remind us of witches. We already saw a few days ago some pictures of the young versions of the Sanderson.
