Elaborating further, the 31-year-old actor went on to say that the family factor made the show a hit. He added that starting the show from the opposite version, by showing the family divided, could be "a great idea". Giving further details, David said his character Justin can continue doing his thing at WizTech while Selena Gomez's character Alex will be more like a fashionista. Reasoning the same, he added that if all the characters are in their own world, doing their own stuff, and have forgotten how to be a family, that would be a great place to start the show.
The four-season long Disney series ended in 2012 with an hourlong finale that saw Russo siblings Alex (Gomez), Justin (Henrie), and Max (Jake T. Austin) compete in the family wizard competition. In the finale episode, Alex became the family wizard while Justin became the new Headmaster of WizTech and also retained his wizard powers. Meanwhile, Max was chosen to run the Russo family's sub sandwich shop.
As the conversation moved further, Henrie was asked to share details of his upcoming project This is the year. Throwing light on the film, he said that the movie is meant to make people feel good. The film will revolve around a high school senior and his friends as they embark on a road trip to see their favourite band. The coming-of-age film releasing on August 28 will also mark David Henrie's feature directorial debut.
