According to THR, Patrick Stewart is in final negotiations to join the upcoming big screen reboot of Charlie’s Angels, which is being directed by Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2) and sees Kristen Stewart (Personal Shopper), Naomi Scott (Power Rangers) and Ella Balinska (Midsomer Murders) starring as the new team of Angels.
The reboot updated the premise of the original TV series, with the Townsend Agency now a global security firm which employs various teams of Angels around the world. Each team has its own ‘Bosley’, handlers representing the never-seen Charlie Townsend, with both Stewart and Banks reportedly filling two of these roles.
