Alex Winter was "really grateful" to make 'Bill & Ted Face the Music'.
The 55-year-old actor has returned to his role as time-travelling musician Bill Preston for the new movie - which also sees Keanu Reeves reprise the part of Ted Logan - and admits that he is pleased that the project came to fruition after a decade of speculation.
Speaking on Variety's 'The Big Ticket' podcast, Alex said: "For a lot of the last 10 years, it didn't look like this movie was going to happen. We're really grateful that we got to make it. It took a lot of people, a lot of hands on deck, to get it done.
"It's been a very challenging time to release a film... Hopefully it will put a smile on people's faces."
Alex also admits that he and Keanu had "never intended" to make a third movie, which comes 29 years after the release of 'Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'.
'The Lost Boys' star explained: "We never intended to make a third. We never felt this world particularly needed a third, but when we were pitched this idea by (co-writers) Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon some years ago, we really did love the idea. It really made us laugh, and it warmed our hearts."
