“Last year, I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell. Now, I’m in a place of saying, ‘2026. Here we go,'” Kidman, 59, told Varietyin March of the follow-up flick. “I have Practical Magic with Sandy. I’ll be in full witch mode.”
Kidman and Bullock will be joined in the highly anticipated sequel by Joey King and Maisie Williams portraying their daughters.
