But fans shouldn’t hold their collective breath for the movie’s release: it’s going to be awhile. “It just takes a long time to put a movie together,” Winter said. “Now we’re having to build this thing in public, which is fine. I just feel bad \[the fans\] have to get dragged through this long, boring, protracted process.” \[[Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/movies/alex-winter-gives-an-excellent-update-on-bill-ted-3-98391178022.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3431163/bill-and-ted-3-excellent/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3431163/bill-and-ted-3-excellent/"},"headline":"Bill & Ted 3 is Probably Happening and That's Most Excellent","datePublished":"2014-09-25T23:08:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:25:42.118Z","description":"Party on dudes","url":"https://time.com/3431163/bill-and-ted-3-excellent/","keywords":["movies","Movie","Ted","bill","adventure"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfbafdf89a608a3b2/6986a588cd68480638096a94/3f328632.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfbafdf89a608a3b2/6986a588cd68480638096a94/3f328632.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"3f328632","caption":"Alex Winter, Keanu Reeves, in the original Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, 1989","creditText":"Orion","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3431163/bill-and-ted-3-excellent/","name":"Bill & Ted 3 is Probably Happening and That's Most Excellent"}}]}] ```
