Which character does Lee Pace play in Practical Magic 2?

The story behind the answer

Lee Pace plays Ian Wright in Practical Magic 2.

Ian Wright is described as an academic character who studies the history of magic and becomes Sally Owens’s love interest. His academic interest connects him to the sequel’s wider story about the Owens family’s history and the origins of its magic.

Pace’s character is separate from Thomas Lockland, the dark warlock played by Solly McLeod. He is also distinct from the unnamed love interest of Kylie Owens, played by Xolo Maridueña. These relationships and roles belong to different generations and story threads.

Lee Pace has appeared in films such as The Hobbit trilogy and Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as television productions including Halt and Catch Fire. In Practical Magic 2, his role adds a character whose study of magic intersects with Sally’s family history.
