The CW Casts Its Live-Action POWERPUFF GIRLS With Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault
The CW has found the stars of its upcoming live-action Powerpuff Girls series with actresses Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nashville, Abominable), Dove Cameron (Liv and Maddie, Descendants), and Yana Perrault (Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill). Based on the Cartoon Network series created by Craig McCracken, “the new series sees the pint-sized superheroes as disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?”
Bennet has been cast as Blossom, Cameron has been cast as Bubbles, and Perrault has been cast as Buttercup.
Here are the character descriptions via Variety:
Blossom — though she was a spunky, conscientious, Little-Miss-Perfect child who holds several advanced degrees — has repressed kiddie-superhero trauma has left her feeling anxious and reclusive, and she aims to become a leader again, this time on her own terms.
Bubbles’ sweet-girl disposition won America’s hearts as a child. She still sparkles as an adult, but her charming exterior belies an unexpected toughness and wit. She’s initially more interested in recapturing her fame than saving the world, but she just might surprise us and herself.
Buttercup was the rebellious badass of The Powerpuff Girls in its heyday. More sensitive than her tough exterior suggests, Buttercup has spent her adulthood trying to shed her Powerpuff Girl identity and live an anonymous life.
