I couldn’t be more excited to work with Kristen, Naomi and Ella to bring this chapter to fans around the world."[4] are planning a reboot of the 'Charlie's Angels film franchise' with the potential of American actress, director, and producer Elizabeth Banks both producing with her producing partner and husband Max Handelman and the studio are in negotiations with her to direct the film.[5]

The movie should still be fun but, like, if you ground it and make it about women that really know how to help each other, it’ll be perfect to release now. Like, we’re all together and strong."[6] The most recent draft of the script is written by Jay Basu and Banks, based on earlier drafts by Craig Mazin and Semi Chellas.[7] Sony has slated a September 27, 2019, release for the movie.[8]
