Chloe Bennet has stepped down as one of the three leads in the live-action CW pilot based on “The Powerpuff Girls,” Variety has learned exclusively.

Bennet was set to star as Blossom in the pilot, which is currently titled “Powerpuff.” The show was originally in contention during pilot season earlier this year for a potential fall air date, but The CW made the decision to redevelop and reshoot it instead, with CW chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz calling the first pilot “a miss.”

According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, studio Warner Bros. Television wanted to extend Bennet’s option as they reworked the pilot, but scheduling conflicts forced her to exit instead. Casting for a new third Powerpuff Girl will begin in the fall.

Dove Cameron remains attached to the show as Bubbles while Yana Perrault is still attached to play Buttercup. Other cast members in the original pilot included Donald Faison as Professor Drake Utonium, Nicholas Podany as the show’s version of villain Mojo Jojo named Joseph “Jojo” Mondel Jr., and Robyn Lively as Sara Bellum. Talks are currently ongoing for them to return as well.

That tells me it's probably the best thing the CW ever produced.

I mean... She's dating this douche:



He's an extremely vane human (and weird)... I'm sure he wants her to look more like a man

Good. Chloe needs to enter the MCU proper as Quake. She’s only 29. She has some years to go projects in that tight leather suit still.

This show seems dead in the water now. If Dove Cameron’s fine arse pulls out, no one is watching.



Yikes…. Looks like that weird Paul douche is causing her to stress not-eat. Looks like she’s lost ten pounds of muscle from her Shield days. Yeesh. Her IG is one big cry for help.

Chloe Bennett could rejoin the show and that's still what's gonna happen.

Some things are just better left as a cartoon and should not be live action.

If I wanted to murder someone's childhood memories, live action powerpuff girls is a good way to do that.

Live action powerpuff girls? What the frick?

I dunno... turning the Jem cartoon into a live Justin Beiber biopic with the serial numbers filed off was apparently a massive one.
