Prepare to get spooky, as we're getting a third Hocus Pocus film.

Fans waited decades for a sequel to the much loved Halloween classic, and now we're getting another.

The second film came out in September, some 30 years since the first Hocus Pocus film.

Fans loved the sequel, so will be very happy to have a second.

Sean Bailey is the president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production.

He told The New York Times to talk about his vision.

Sean was asked whether fans have seen the last of Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy.

He confirmed that they will come back.

Sean was asked if there would be another Pirates of the Caribbean film.

“We think we have a really good, exciting story that honors the films that have come before but also has something new to say," Bailey said.

He was "noncommittal" over whether Johnny Depp would return as Captain Jack Sparrow.

He said Disney is "noncommittal at this point", which has fans hopeful, as it isn't a definitive no.

Following the live action of The Little Mermaid, he said: “While the international opening was softer than we would have liked, the film is playing exceptionally well which we believe sets us up for a very long run,” he said.

There will also be live action Hercules, Lilo and Stitch and Moana.

There will also be a Mufasa: The Lion King film.

It will be "a photorealistic movie".
