Marvel Star Chloe Bennet Leaves Powerpuff Girls Live Action

The jury still doesn’t know if the world wants or needs a live version of Craig mccrackenCartoon Network’s beloved series Super girls-especially the one who throws the little superheroes like resentful young people in their twenties. But when and if the CW pilot for Powerful hits the airwaves, it will be without one of the biggest names in its previously announced cast: Agents of SHIELDby Chloé Bennet, who left the show.

And since we know you are wondering, the reason given was this old reserve of vagueness: “scheduling conflicts”, depending on the variety, who broke the news. The job also reminds us that the first Powerful pilot (directed by Maggie Kiley, co-written by Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody) had been delayed after the CW decided it needed a complete overhaul. “The reason you make pilots is because sometimes things fail, and it was just a lack,” said CW CEO Mark Pedowitz. said Variety in May while stressing that the network still believed in the project. “Totally, maybe it looked a bit too campy. It didn’t seem as grounded in reality as it could have been. But again, you learn things when you test things. And so in this case, we thought, take a step back and go back to the drawing board.

Although Warner Bros. was hoping to keep Bennet in the cast, the timing didn’t work out, so Blossom’s role will be recast. Still on board Powerful as he advances in his new incarnation, Dove Cameron (as Bubbles) and Yana Perrault (Buttercup); Variety notes that the other previously announced stars (Donald Faison, Nicholas Podany, Robyn Lively) are in “current” talks to keep them in the show.
