Bette Midler doesn’t think she needs “Hocus Pocus 2” to burnish her status as a gay icon.

“No!” she exclaimed to Page Six exclusively at the movie’s premiere in New York City on Tuesday. “This is worldwide, this is global, girl! Get a grip!”

The first “Hocus Pocus” movie came out in 1993 and centered on a trio of diabolical witches — played by Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy — who were awakened after being executed in the 17th century.

The film received mixed reviews and was not a box office success. But over the years, it developed a rabid fan base that kept calling for a sequel.

Midler seemed slightly gobsmacked on Tuesday that “Hocus Pocus 2” had finally been made, calling it “unbelievable.”

Midler brought her husband, Martin von Haselberg, to the premiere.
