Maisie Williams Plays Lesbian Character in New Film
18 Sep
Summary
- Maisie Williams portrayed Antonia Owens as a sapphic icon.
- The film's plot involves chasing Sally's daughter to England.
- Bullock mentioned potential for a third film in the series.
Maisie Williams, starring as Antonia Owens in the newly released "Practical Magic 2," shared that she interpreted the character as a "sapphic icon." This portrayal offered a distinct perspective on scenes involving Gideon, highlighting Antonia's unique views on men.
The sequel's narrative follows Sally and Gillian as they pursue Sally's daughter, Kylie, to England. Their journey aims to unravel an ancient family curse and rescue Kylie's boyfriend, Gideon, who is in a coma.
While "Practical Magic 2" explores Kylie's romantic storyline, it sidelines Antonia's richer background as detailed in Alice Hoffman's novel. The book establishes Antonia as a lesbian with a love interest, Ariel, who aids in resolving the family curse, and also reveals her pregnancy.
Despite Antonia not receiving a romantic subplot in the film, the possibility of a third movie remains. Sandra Bullock has indicated that a "Practical Magic 3" could happen if the current sequel performs well, potentially focusing on the younger characters.
