Evan Rachel Wood confirms her absence from ‘Practical Magic 2’: Was not asked to come back
LOS ANGELES, July 14: Hollywood actor Evan Rachel Wood, who essayed the role of Kylie Owens in the romantic fantasy “Practical Magic”, says she wasn’t approached to be a part of the film’s sequel.

The “Westworld” actor posted a note on her Instagram handle on Monday. Wood said she would do the sequel even if it is the smallest role in it.
“I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now;I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel. l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,” she wrote.
“I was told they are re-casting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters,” she added.
The sequel is slated to release in theatres on 18, 2026. (PTI)
