'Wizards of Waverly Place
David Henrie, Selena Gomez, and Jake T. Austin were the stars of Disney Channel's hit television show, "Wizards of Waverly Place." The show follows the Russo family, who may look like an ordinary family with an average restaurant. Still, behind closed doors, the three children have magical powers and are training to compete to be the next family wizard.
Despite the show being off the air for several years, David Henrie, who portrays Justin Russo in the show, is down for a reboot. "It would be so fun," Henrie said with a smile when asked about a potential "Wizards of Waverly Place" reboot. "We were a family on and off camera, so it was almost too much fun, and I think people felt that chemistry when watching the show, too, so I would love to do a reboot. I think it's just about the idea, the when and how, and all of that."
Regarding where his character, Justin, is today, Henrie likes to think he has a family and is following in his father's footsteps, teaching his children the ways of magic. "I think he has a family," he told The Blast. "When we left him, he was professor of Wiztech, so that's where we left him, but coming back to him now, he's either going to be there, or he's not going to be there, but I think he's got, kids."
"I think he's probably going to follow in his father's footsteps and teach his children to some degree, but I don't know there are a million directions it could go there really is."
Unfortunately, at this time, there is no word on if a "Wizards of Waverly Place" reboot is happening or not. Still, the original series is currently streaming on Disney's streaming service, Disney+, along with the film, "Wizards Of Waverly Place: The Movie."
