The Powerpuff Girls Movie cast has been Announced

The CW has found its main cast for The Powerpuff Girls live-action reboot pilot.

As reported by Deadline, the network has tapped Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault to portray the superhero sisters Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, respectively.

The upcoming project is said to be a much grittier show than the original Cartoon Network animated series, as it will follow Powerpuff Girls as “disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime-fighting.” 

The pilot was written by Academy Award-winner Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier and will be directed by Maggie Kiley.
