Dan Benson

Definitely zero chance, especially since it'll be a kids show on a kids network. I doubt it'll even be good - I tried watching Raven's Home and it wasn't funny. This new show will probably be similar and geared towards kids. (a reason why the Lizzie reboot was cancelled)

Selena Gomez is an executive producer, so one can hope it wouldn't be awful.
 
i wasn't big on wizards of waverly place, to be honest, but was zeke significant of a character to even return? i'd actually be surprised if they gave dan the green light to come back because of disney's "morale" and he centers his whole porn career on being a former disney star.

but i also wouldn't be surprised if they did bring him AND the dad back, after how they allegedly did adrienne bailon and vanessa hudgens when their nudes leaked online at the prime of their disney careers. misogyny is disney's specialty....

The character knew the secret of the family, and was even used by the other wizards as part of the test for the Russo kids to determine which of the three should keep their magic in the series finale. So, yeah, he was a pretty significant character.

I think the reboot is also centered around Justin’s life later on, and Zeke was his best friend…soo technically it would make sense for him to come back. But yeah not sure he would get a call for it unfortunately

Yes Zeke was significant enough to return. But Disney would hold his porn career against him. Not that Dan really cares, because he makes more now than he ever did playing that role. Disney’s biggest stars only would make about 10-15k an episode, and he matches or clears that monthly. Plus he works under his own terms, not having random execs breathing down his neck. It wouldn’t make sense for him to return to the role, which could last at max 4 seasons if they are lucky, when he’s doing more than fine rn. He would only do it for fun
 
If the character of Zeke is brought back, a different actor will be playing him.
There is no way given what he's doing now that Benson is going to be brought back, which he himself acknowledges and is okay with.
If nothing else, it's not just about Disney's moral clauses, it's all about politics.
Disney is embroiled in a battle with conservatives right now about how they are destroying "family values."
To hire someone who is an active adult film star would be about as stupid as it gets.

I need the new Wizard’s show to make this tongue-in-cheek joke, tho:

(Alex sees Justin a bit mopey)

Alex: I don’t know what to do. I wish Zeke was here. He would definitely cheer you up.

Justin: Yeah, I miss the man. He’s on world tour after breaking that record for eating the most hot dogs. I don’t have a lot of people, but he’s always had my back.

Alex: Your only fan.

(Justin laughs)
