Sandra Bullock’s Instagram Debut Includes Nicole Kidman Interaction

Sandra Bullockhad been avoiding Instagram for the longest time, but she finally made a debut this week — and her exchange withNicole Kidmanis making rounds on the internet. Her arrival on the platform felt like an iconic pop culture moment all on its own.

Bullock did not ease into it, either. She showed up with the same dry humor people know from her movies and, within hours, she started chatting in the comments with famous friends, including Channing Tatum.

Sandra Bullock comments on Nicole Kidman’s post upon Instagram debut

The biggest reaction to Sandra Bullock’s Instagram debut came from her interaction with Nicole Kidman. After creating her account,Bullockbegan leaving playful comments across Instagram, starting with a jab at her “The Lost City” co-star Channing Tatum. On a fan post referencing his 2024 GQ interview, Bullock wrote, “Of course you did,” adding a winking emoji.

But it was her comment under Kidman’s post that got fans talking. Kidman had previously posted behind-the-scenes footage from the set, showing the two actors hugging as a director’s voice says, “Still rolling.”

The “Scarpetta” actor captioned it, “The witches are back. Owens sisters’ first day on set!” — and Bullock, now officially on Instagram, jumped into the comments with, “Oh we’re so back.”

Additionally, Bullock commented on other friends’ posts, includingJennifer Aniston’s. Bullockwrote, “Me next mama? Going for a witchy look…” — a line that was a playful nod back to the “Practical Magic 2” excitement.

Sandra Bullock’s decision to make an Instagram debut marks a major change from her past stance. In a statement toPEOPLElast year, she said, “Please be aware that I do not participate in any form of social media,” while calling out impersonators.

And now, with one comment to Kidman, Bullock signaled that she has made her social media debut, and she knows exactly what fans want to see, especially when it comes to the return of the Owens sisters.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman Reveal New Plot Details for “Practical Magic 2”: 'The Witches Are Back!'

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock introduced a new teaser trailer for Practical Magic 2 at CinemaCon on Tuesday, April 14

NEED TO KNOW

• The film sees the Owens' sisters' lives take a new turn when a mysterious figure (Lee Pace) shakes things up in their quaint New England town

• Following the CinemaCon appearance, Bullock joined Instagram and shared a behind-the-scenes video from filming, referencing the original film's iconic midnight margaritas scene

Sandra BullockandNicole Kidmanare getting excited about the much-anticipatedPractical Magicsequel — and revealing new details about the film's plot.

Bullock, 61, and Kidman, 58, referenced Kidman's iconic AMC Theaters ad while introducing a new teaser for the upcoming film at CinemaCon on Tuesday, April 14. “Why do we come here, Nicole?” Bullock asked, to which Kidman replied "We come to this place for magic."

“The witches are back!” Kidman said to applause, as Bullock joked, “Step on my line, that’s okay.”

“I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family,” Bullock's character, the responsible older sister Sally Owens, says in the teaser. “The ones from Massachusetts. The ones their neighbors whisper are witches.”

The sequel will see Sally's daughters into young adulthood as they navigate their own magical legacies, while Sally's sister Gillian Owens (Kidman) has traded her life of adventure and occasional danger for quieter life with a black cat by her side. Things are shaken up when a mysterious figure (Lee Pace) arrives in the sisters' quaint New England town with a new quest for them.

Kidman explained that the original house was rebuilt, and that “we also have our past catching up with us and we have our destinies and we have our family."

“Sally is single, and if you know the original film, you can probably guess why,” Bullock said, referencing the cursed love motif ofPractical Magic.

Following the CinemaCon appearance, Bullock joinedInstagramto post a brief behind-the-scenes video from the set ofPractical Magic 2, in which she wears a pink bell sleeved dress while pointing to a margarita pitcher, in reference to the first film's memorable "midnight margaritas" sequence, often recreated by loyal fans.

Channing, 82, will once again play Frances "Franny" Owens, the more no-nonsense of the pair, while Wiest, 78, returns as the whimsical Bridget "Jet" Owens.

In a 2025 statement, the filmmaking team behindPractical Magic 2— which includes directorSusanne Bier,taking over forGriffin Dunne— said, “Twenty-five years ago, Sally, Gillian, Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny flew off the pages ofAlice Hoffman’s beloved novel and into theaters around the world, and we are thrilled to bring the Owens family back to the big screen with Joey, Lee, Maisie, Solly and Xolo joining the next chapter in our story."

Practical Magic,based on Hoffman's 1995 novel of the same name, stars Kidman and Bullock as the Owens sisters, a pair of witches descended from a fictional survivor of the Salem Witch Trials who are fighting off a curse that kills the men they fall in love with, while learning to accept the most magical parts of themselves and chart their own paths.

MLB power rankings: Dominant LA Dodgers already lapping mediocre field

Legendary NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle once floated his dream of an uber-balanced league where every team finished 8-8, a combination not totally outlandish given the abbreviated nature of the schedule.

InMajor League Baseball, 30 teams finishing 81-81 is, of course, a near-mathematical impossibility, although the 2026 season is already trending that way.

Save for one team. Guess who?

TheLos Angeles Dodgersmay already be lapping the field just 15 games into the season.

At 11-4, they're every bit the super team folks envisioned once the two-time champions added $60 million outfielder Kyle Tucker to the mix, winning at a .786 clip while leading the big leagues in home runs and OPS.

Yet it's the performance of everyone else that truly makes the Dodgers seem a cut above.

Twenty-six of 30 teams are within 3 ½ games of each other, a massive logjam of teams between 9-6 and 6-10, with only the Dodgers and 10-6San Diego Padresand theChicago White Sox(5-10) resembling outliers of any sort.

Will the big blog of so-so teams break up eventually, and the standings gain greater definition? Perhaps. For now, though, there's little surprise at the top of USA TODAY Sports' power rankings.

A look at our updated rankings:

1.Los Angeles Dodgers(-)

• A half-dozen players with at least three homers led by, of course, Shohei Ohtani's five.

2.New York Yankees(-)

• Swept in Tampa Bay for first time since 2018.

3.Milwaukee Brewers(-)

• Curse of the City Connects? Winless in Wisco gear.

4.Philadelphia Phillies(+1)

• Zack Wheeler perhaps one more rehab start away from return.

5.Seattle Mariners(+2)

• Home sweep of Astros perhaps puts them back on track.

6. Pittsburgh Pirates (+6)

• More signs of changing times: They were 3-10 against the Cubs a year ago. They just won a series at Wrigley.

7. Atlanta Braves (+7)

• They lost an entire rotation's worth of arms so of course they lead the majors in ERA and WHIP.

8. Cleveland Guardians (+5)

• Another one: Parker Messick has a 0.51 ERA through three starts.

9. San Diego Padres (+8)

• Win eight of nine, but joy dampened by Nick Pivetta's elbow concern.

10.Arizona Diamondbacks (+8)

• 9-7 despite opening gauntlet of Dodgers, Tigers, Braves, Mets, Phillies.

11. Cincinnati Reds (-)

• All-Star Andrew Abbott has 5.85 ERA through four starts.

12. New York Mets (-8)

• Clay Holmes apparently ducks serious injury after hamstring scare.

13. Detroit Tigers (-3)

• Kevin McGonigle crosses first home run off his to-do list.

14. Chicago Cubs (-5)

• Seiya Suzuki returns and Michael Conforto sticks on roster.

15.Toronto Blue Jays(-7)

• Loss of George Springer won't help them pull out of early funk.

Cleveland Guardians players warm up as the launch of NASA's Artemis II is shown on the center-field video board at Dodger Stadium on April 1, 2026.
