Drag superstar, Bros actress, and Hocus Pocus superfan Symone cast a spell on RuPaul's Drag Race when she won season 13, and now she tells EW she wants to work some magic opposite Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy in Hocus Pocus 3.
In an exclusive interview with EW about attending her high school reunion in full drag, the 28-year-old reveals that she would love for Disney to consider her for a part in the still-gestating third movie in the Hocus Pocus franchise, after her Drag Race sisters Ginger Minj, Kahmora Hall, and Kornbread were cast as drag versions of the Sanderson Sisters in the series' 2022 sequel.
"I know they're doing [Hocus Pocus] 3, if they want to get my number, my phone box is open, I'm going to cast my net out there this time," says Symone, who has long been open about her affection for the Halloween classic. "Symone wants to do Hocus Pocus. Put me in there."
When asked if she's given any thought as to what kind of part she'd like to play in the movie, Symone doesn't hesitate.
"I would love to be a witch of some kind," she explains. "The little girls [in the sequel], it's the next generation, so, I might be a villain, come into my own little power, have my own little coven. I would love that. Can't you see it?"
Kornbread previously told EW that season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall was originally considered for a part in Hocus Pocus 2 as well, and Kahmora hilariously recalled being shocked that she was asked — but she still attempted to get production to move filming dates to accomodate her.
"I thought I got the wrong email. I was so surprised by it. I had to Google the person emailing me to make sure it was legit," Kahmora said. "Ironically, the same dates they were filming, I had a trip to Disney World planned, and I was like, 'Is there any way we can move the dates, or any flexibility?' and they're like, girl, you're not Bette Midler, we're not changing the dates for you. So I was like, let me reschedule my vacation, no problem."
