Ginger Minj nearly "exploded" when she learned she'd been cast in Hocus Pocus 2, but nothing could have prepared the drag queen for Bette Midler's first words to her when she stepped foot on set. The RuPaul's Drag Race fan favorite opened up to PopCulture.com host Anna Rumer about taking on the role of a drag queen version of Midler's Winifred Sanderson in the sequel to the beloved Halloween movie ahead of its Sept. 30 release on Disney+, reminding us all why Midler continues to be an icon.

Ginger was initially asked to appear in Hocus Pocus 2 by director Anne Fletcher, with whom she also worked on Netflix's 2018 comedy Dumplin'. "[Fletcher] goes, 'I've created a role just for you in Hocus Pocus 2. You're going to play a drag version of Winfred Sanderson and you get into a fight with Bette Midler,'" Ginger recalled. "And I said, 'Sign me up, fly me over. Let's do it.'"
