Evan Rachel Wood explains why ‘Practical Magic 2’ abandoned her

Evan Rachel Wood will not appear in “Practical Magic 2″… and she finally explained why she found herself without a broom for the upcoming sequel.

Here’s the deal…a sequel to the very popular Nicole Kidman And Sandra Bullock The ’90s-set film was announced last year – and, at the time, Evan said she had been dumped, although she told filmmakers she really wanted to reprise her role.

Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.

Fast forward to the “Spider-Man” premiere Monday night, when ERW was asked what happened…and she graciously replied that the upcoming movie was going in a different direction than the book, which meant her character was SOL.

Who knows what the plot will be… but in the first movie, Evan played Sandra’s character’s daughter, a widowed witch and single mother.

To her credit… ERW took the high road and wished for the success of the film… even if deep down she felt they were being too cunning in leaving her behind.

Evan isn’t the only OG star to be snubbed in the sequel… Aidan Quinnwho played Sandra’s love interest, Gary Hallett, is also not in the film.
