POLICY WIRE — City, Country — Actress Evan Rachel Wood has disclosed her profound disappointment over not being asked to return for the sequel to the 1998 film “Practical Magic.” Wood, who portrayed the youngest daughter of Sandra Bullock’s character in the original movie, shared her feelings in a recent interview.
“It was a role that meant a lot to me, — and I was really hoping to be part of the sequel,” Wood stated. “It’s disappointing not to be included, especially when you have a connection to the story — and the characters.”
The original “Practical Magic” starred Bullock — and Nicole Kidman as witch sisters navigating love and family curses. Wood’s character, Kylie, was a significant part of the narrative, adding a layer of youthful innocence and magic to the film.
Despite her exclusion from the upcoming project, Wood remains committed to her acting career. She has been vocal about her experiences in Hollywood, including her efforts to raise awareness about industry issues such as pay equity and representation.
“I continue to support — and advocate for better opportunities and recognition for all actors,” Wood added. “This isn’t just about me; it’s about creating a more inclusive — and fair environment for everyone.”
The sequel to “Practical Magic” is currently in development, with details about the cast and storyline yet to be fully revealed. Fans of the original film are eagerly anticipating more information, hoping for a faithful continuation of the beloved story.
