Alex Winter, one-half of Wild Stallions, took to Twitter today to denounce rumors that George Carlin’s character Rufus might be recast of the upcoming third “Bill & Ted” movie.
Carlin, who played the memorable time-traveling guide in the original films with Winter and co-star Keanu Reeves, sadly passed away in 2008.
Rather than fill the role with another actor (as one punter below suggests), “Bill & Ted Face the Music” will likely play homage to Carlin and his character but not fill the slot.
Kevin is an awesome fella but we are not recasting Rufus. That is not a character one can recast. https://t.co/wYcntJMgnb

One face from the earlier films – well, the sequel – will be back for another go-round : William Sadler is returning as ‘Death’.
The film, which will reportedly see Bill & Ted having to write the greatest song ever, one that will save ‘the universe’, will open nationwide on Aug. 21, 2020.
Production is set to begin this summer on the film with Dean Parisot at the helm.
