In 2019, we can’t afford to not get political, even with escapist entertainment. So even though Elizabeth Banks’ Charlie’s Angels reboot is a high-stakes, globe-trotting spy thriller comedy, she still made sure to send a message with extreme real-world ties within the story about female spies: “Believe women.”
Letting female rage express itself was one of the most important aspects of the new installment of the Charlie’s Angels franchise, Banks, who directed, wrote and co-stars, tells Collider along with a small group of journalists. “One of the ingredients of this movie was supporting and believing women,” she says. “We literally have a character who is essentially working at a big corporation and is not being believed or listened to by her bosses.”
Charlie’s Angels, starring Kristen Stewart, Ella Balinska and Naomi Scott as the new iteration of badass female spies, centers on Scott’s character Elena when she’s just a normal civilian as she hires the Townsend Agency to help uncover a sinister plot she discovered within a large tech company. Her journey towards becoming an Angel herself is the story of the new movie, set in the same world as the original ‘70s TV series, 2000 movie and 2003 sequel.
“One of the statements this movie makes is that you should probably believe women,” Banks adds. “We have as much validity in what we’re feeling and how we want to go about living in the world, being in the world, and that was really important to me, that we felt like we had characters that were being taken seriously and given a chance to live their best life.”

It was already ABOUT female empowerment. They want to make it woke?
This is going to be a bigger trainwreck than GB 2016.
No.
Show us your t**s!
Looks like a Flop
Is third time supposed to be a charm with these loser, regurgitated movies? I don’t even remember being a fan, or actually watching any of the original series. I’m a woman, and don’t give a crap about stuff like this.
Spoiler alert: The white male will be the bad guy.
Straight White male.
Computer genius will be a Black female.
Why not a Charlie’s Angels reboot with all guys?
With Hollywood switching roles in remakes
at least these Angels are not men .
The lines were written for men and will be spoken by these women
If they they hijack the show with lib propaganda it will die.
Unoriginal, poorly implemented loser.
Let me guess...
It lasts the pilot and one year.
