Joey King has thanked Evan Rachel Wood for being so 'nice' about being replaced in Practical Magic 2

Joey King has thanked Evan Rachel Wood for being so "nice" about being replaced in Practical Magic 2.

The Kissing Booth star and Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams star as Sandra Bullock's on-screen daughters, Kylie and Antonia, in the recent sequel, replacing Evan and Alexandra Artrip, who had the roles in the 1998 original.

While Evan, 39, has previously expressed her disappointment at not being invited back for Practical Magic 2, Joey admitted she was "super touched" that she had nothing but kind words for her.

Speaking on Armchair Expert, Joey said: "Luckily, she was so [sweet]. She wished me well.

"She said in an interview recently I saw where she was like, ‘I wish Joey the best.’ And so I reached out to her and...it was so sweet. It was just really nice because everyone was saying things online, and then I was like, ‘Well, what if we just chatted?’ That was really nice because it’s just so noisy when people make their mind up about how to behave when they feel something about someone or a casting choice.

“I love Evan Rachel Wood, and so I was super touched when she said that in her interview that she wished us all well.

“That was really nice because she didn’t have to do that. I feel like the noise can become so much noisier than maybe it actually is.”
