On September 15, 2015, it was announced that Sony Pictures Entertainment was rebooting the "Charlie's Angels" franchise, and Elizabeth Banks was in talks to direct the film. In July 2018, it was announced that Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska would play the leading trio of the fighting team, and Banks would also appear as Bosley, with the film featuring multiple characters named Bosley. It was later revealed that the new movie would not be a reboot or a remake of the franchise but rather a continuation that will incorporate the events of the original TV series and the McG-directed 2000s films.
