Rated 2.1 out of 5: 5 years later, will one of Kristen Stewart’s worst movies get a sequel?

Sixteen years later, the trio of Cameron Diaz – Drew Barrymore – Lucy Liu (and we’ll raise a modest curtain on an attempt to reboot the series, which was canceled in 2011 after eight episodes), Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska became the new Charlie’s Angels. . Elizabeth Banks feature film.

On paper, the feature film airing on TFX this Sunday, February 25, had everything to like, and from the first pictures, it seems that the cast had a lot of fun filming it. Except that Kristen Stewart recently revealed that it was none of her business in an interview variety In the month of January: “I hated making this movie”she declares, admitting that she felt guilty about the previous trio (Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu), whom she admired greatly.

And it’s not the box office that dampened that feeling: Released for $48 million (excluding marketing costs), Charlie’s Angels ended 2019 with a 73.3 gross worldwide. including 17.8 in the United States. Which is obviously very little when the idea was to relaunch the franchise with this origin story amidst cutting edge technology that could threaten the world in the wrong hands.

Funny drama

On the other hand, Elizabeth Banks does not regret the film itself: “I love when Kristen Stewart is fun and bright. I loved getting to know Ella Balinska’s world. I loved making the movie. Patrick StewartIt was an incredible experience.”– he said New York Times in September 2022. “But it was also very stressful, in part because as soon as a woman tries to do something in Hollywood, it turns into this story.”

“There was this idea that Charlie’s Angels, which I was making, would be a feminist manifesto. While I was only doing action movies (…) I wish the movie wasn’t just for girls, because I. Don’t do it just for girls. I think marketing It was disconnected from the content.”

“I take full responsibility for Charlie’s Angels”

From there, saying he blames others is just one step we won’t take. And neither: “I take full responsibility for Charlie’s Angels – and no one else. They put it all on my back and I’m happy to accept it, because what else am I supposed to do?”; He admitted variety In February 2023, when Crazy Bear was released.

Under these circumstances, and with the franchise’s fate seemingly sealed from its rocky start at the American box office, it’s more likely to see a new reboot than a sequel that’s never been mentioned in just five years. Even the third part of the adventures of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. That means we shouldn’t expect to see Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska together. or in another movie.
