Evan Rachel Wood Shades ‘Practical Magic 2’ Cast, Claims Joey King Was Only 1 Who Reached Out Amid Replacement
Wood said she was sad to miss the sequel after producers rejected her return, while praising Joey King’s casting and the film’s recasting choices.
- On Tuesday, September 1, actress Evan Rachel Wood publicly supported Joey King, who replaced her as Kylie Owens in Practical Magic 2, calling her "a sweetheart" via Instagram Stories.
- Previously, Wood expressed disappointment about not being invited to reprise her 1998 role, claiming no one from the original production, including Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, contacted her regarding the recasting.
- Director Susanne Bier defended the decision, explaining the sequel required actors fitting characters who are "literally out of college," with King and Maisie Williams replacing Alexandra Artrip based on age requirements.
- King told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, August 31, that she shared a "lovely" conversation with Wood, stating, "I just was so appreciative of the support."
- The sequel, based on Alice Hoffman's novel The Book of Magic, releases September 11, 2026, exploring the Owens family history 28 years after the original film.
