"Drag Race" star Ginger Minj is set to get her witch on "Hocus Pocus 2," reported Entertainment Weekly.
Minj is set to appear as drag version of Bette Midler's Winifred Sanderson character.
"Sources close to the production confirmed to EW that the 'All Stars 6' finalist filmed a scene for the Disney+ sequel in Rhode Island in November 2021 that sees three queens portraying impersonations of the Sanderson Sisters at a drag show – including Ginger as Bette Midler's Winifred Sanderson," EW reports. "Later, the real Sanderson Sisters (Midler's Winifred, Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah, and Kathy Najimy as Mary) show up to the performance, and spectacular things ensue."
Footage from set began circulating the internet that included images of Ginger in full Winifred Sanderson drag.
Disney has not commented on Ginger's role in the film. "Hocus Pocus 2" premieres this fall on Disney+.
