On Thursday (July 26), Variety confirmed that Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska have officially joined the new Charlie’s Angels reboot as, you guessed it, the three Angels. The new movie will be directed by Elizabeth Banks, who’s also playing the Angels’ manager, Bosley.

Per Variety, this new Charlie’s Angels will focus on a new generation of Angels working for the ubiquitous Charlie. Apparently, the movie’s Townsend Agency hub is now a huge organization, with teams of agents working cases worldwide. The film will focus on three members of one of those “teams” (Stewart, Scott, and Balinska) as they work a big mission. Other details are sparse, but we do have a confirmed premiere date: September 27, 2019.The last major iteration of Charlie’s Angels happened in 2000, with Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore, and Cameron Diaz stepping into the roles.

Stewart, of course, achieved worldwide fame when she starred in the Twilight series nearly a decade ago. Meanwhile, you might know Scott from her recent work in Power Rangers or future work in the live-action Aladdin (she’s playing Jasmine). Balinska is best known for her television work in the U.K., such as Midsomer Murders and Casualty. Banks told Variety she’s excited to make a movie about a “new era of modern and global Angels.”

“Charlie’s Angels, for me, is one of the original brands to celebrate the empowered woman since its debut in the ’70s,” Banks said. “This film honors the legacy of Charles Townsend and his agency while introducing a new era of modern and global Angels. I couldn’t be more excited to work with Kristen, Naomi and Ella to bring this chapter to fans around the world.” Is it next September yet?
