The Charlie’s Angels reboot just got a bit of inspired casting the form of Patrick Stewart. The veteran actor has been cast as Bosley in the rebooted film directed by Elizabeth Banks.
Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska have already been set as the trio of elite detectives. Banks had already been set to play Bosley, who in the original TV series was the intermediary between the women and Charlie, the group’s elusive employer and head of The Townsend Agency, who appeared via speakerphone only in the original 1970s TV series and was voiced by John Forsythe. I’m assuming getting this casting coup gave her a reason to step down and just focus on directing the film.
The new Charlie’s Angels focuses on a new generation of Angels as The Townsend Agency goes global, providing security and intelligence services to a variety of private clients with offices and highly trained teams worldwide. This film focuses on one of those teams. As of this writing, Charlie has not been cast.
Charlie’s Angels has a planned release date of September 27, 2019.
