Three people - a woman with a bun and a black jacket, a woman with short blonde hair, and a man with a beard and a white shirt - standing outdoors in front of a brick wall.

She joins fel­low super spies Nao­mi Scott and Ella Balin­s­ka in this reboot from writer/​director Eliz­a­beth Banks.

“I think women can do any­thing.” So teas­es Kris­ten Stew­art at the begin­ning of the first offi­cial trail­er for Charlie’s Angels, which more or less looks like the reboot we didn’t ask for but absolute­ly need in 2019.

Prov­ing that she is an actor pre­pared to take on any role – as well as one who can rock basi­cal­ly any out­fit – Stew­art stars as super spy Sabi­na Wil­son along­side Nao­mi Scott and Ella Balin­s­ka, the next gen­er­a­tion of Angels work­ing for the mys­te­ri­ous Charles Townsend, played by Patrick Stewart.

This new-look sis­ter­hood of agents is called into action when a young pro­gram­mer-turned-whistle­blow­er reveals that the rev­o­lu­tion­ary prod­uct she’s devel­op­ing is at risk of being weaponised. Aid­ing them in their mis­sion is none oth­er than writer/​director Banks as Charlie’s trusty assis­tant, Bosley.

The trail­er, which also gives fans an ear­ly hint of Ari­ana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey’s tie-in sin­gle (the title of which has yet to be revealed), sug­gests that this female-pow­ered reboot is going to be very dif­fer­ent from both the orig­i­nal ​’60s TV series and the McG direct­ed 2000 film. Fin­gers crossed it doesn’t turn out to be anoth­er Ocean’s 8.

Charlie’s Angels is released in cin­e­mas 15 November.
