Bill and Ted 3 Writer Shares Behind-the-Scenes Look at Heroes’ Daughters

It has been 28 years since Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter appeared on the big screen as Bill and Ted, but the two are finally reuniting for next year’s Bill & Ted Face the Music. One of the film’s writers, Ed Solomon, who also penned Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, recently took to Twitter to share photos of the upcoming film’s newest cast members. Samara Weaving has been cast as Thea Preston, Bill’s daughter, and Brigette Lundy-Paine will be playing Billie Logan, Ted’s daughter. Weaving is best known for starring in Netflix’s The Babysitter and appearing on the series SMILF. Lundy-Paine is one of the stars of Netflix’s Atypical, and was featured in last year’s film, Action Point.

“On my wall in the production office,” Solomon shared.

Previously, producer Scott Kroopf spoke about the casting.

“When we saw Samara and Brigette together, it was like deja vu,” he said in a statement. “It was exactly the way we felt when we first saw Keanu and Alex. We are so thrilled to have this funny and unique pair join the Bill and Ted team!”

Many fans commented on Solomon’s post, clearly excited to see cast additions.

“I’m so psyched for this,” @McJesse wrote.

“This is amazing. I love everything about this. This movie is going to BE EXCELLENT,” @CarterBays added.

“I just really appreciate how hard everyone has worked to get this movie made, thank you!,” @CindyPa92923936 replied.
