HocusPocus star Omri Katz, who played Max in the 1993 original, 'would have loved' to return in HocusPocus2: 'Unfortunately, I'm not in it.'
Omri Katz won't be lighting another Black Flame Candle in Hocus Pocus 2. Katz starred in the 1993 original Hocus Pocus as Max Dennison, the virgin who unwittingly resurrects a coven of 300-year-old witches when he lights a magic candle on Halloween night. The evil Sanderson Sisters have until sunrise to steal the lives of Salem's children and stay young forever — or turn to dust.
Katz praised Disney and director Anne Fletcher for"trying to attract a new fan base" 29 years after the Kenny Ortega-directed original became a seasonal favorite. EW previously reported Birch was asked to reprise her role of a grown-up Dani, but had to decline due to scheduling conflicts. The sequel instead focuses on a group of high-school students — Becca , Izzy , and Cassie — who must thwart the witches when they return in modern-day Salem.
Fletcher added:"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."
