The three stars were just revealed as the live-action cast of The CW’s upcoming Powerpuff Girls series, Variety reported on Tuesday (March 9).
Chloe has been cast as Blossom, Dove has been cast as Bubbles, and Yana has been cast as Buttercup. This is a reunion for Dove and Chloe, who previously appeared together in the ABC-Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D as enemies. Yana recently starred in Broadway‘s Jagged Little Pill.
Here’s more about the characters: “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 inrecapturing 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.”
Chloe Bennet has tested positive for coronavirus.
The 28-year-old Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday (December 31) to open up about her battle with the virus.
“Hey haven’t been on here for a little, wanted to give an update… On Christmas morning I woke up with a high fever, and unable to breathe,” Chloe explained. “I got tested, and I’m positive for COVID-19 … it’s been a rough week to say the least. Multiple members of my family are also infected, we’ve all been battling it out together. We’re still not in the clear, but as of now we’re doing…okay.”
She continued: “I’m sharing this because I want to iterate to anyone who still may not be taking covid seriously, please please please f–king do. Covied sucks. It just really sucks. I pride myself on staying healthy, I always wore a mask, social distanced, and took all the necessary precautions and I still got VERY sick. And I’m one of the lucky ones. I repeat! I’m young, healthy, and diligent about my health and this virus still knocked me the f–k down and continues to do so. Even trying to just write this out is proving to be exhausting.”
Chloe ended her message by telling her fans to stay safe in the New Year.
“So I guess I’m on here just trying to remind anyone whose reading this, that yes 2020 is coming to an end, but this pandemic is still raging on, and if you can don’t let up. Stay distant, stay safe, wear a mask,” Chloe concluded. “On that note, I love you guys, stay healthy, and happy (almost) new year. X CB. P.S. f–k you 2020, I can’t wait to not be in you.”

Chloe Bennet is calling out President Donald Trump for his continued use of the term “Chinese Virus” to describe the ongoing coronavirus crisis and to “deflect from his own incompetence.”
The 27-year-old star of Marvel‘s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spoke out in an Instagram post on Wednesday (March 17).

“The new wave of rhetoric from the White House, referring to COVID-19 as the ‘Chinese virus’ is unacceptable. The attitude of the country reflects its leadership. And to have our president ignite racial hatred simply so he can deflect from his own incompetence, is disgusting. Let’s be clear. This is a very intentional publicity play by our current administration to take attention away from the COMPLETE mishandling of the virus on American soil,” she wrote.
Many other stars have joined Chloe in calling out Trump for the racist rhetoric – find out who else.
