When it seemed that the project was on track, the obstacles became visible. We know that the American network The CW prepares a series in realistic version on the popular cartoon of “The Superpowered Girls”, and after sharing its first images, recording a pilot to measure the reception in the audiences and continue polishing the plot, one of its protagonists resigned from the project. This is the actress Chloe Bennet (recognized among her works for being part of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”), who was going to play Bombón although she will not continue in the production due to “agenda conflicts”, as reported by the specialized media Variety.
So far his companions, Dove Cameron (“Descendants”) and Yana Perrault (artist known for his themes and his work on Broadway) will continue in the skin of Bubble and Acorn, while the creatives launch themselves in the search for another actress instead of Bennet.

We feel, ‘Let’s take a step back and go back to the drawing board.’ This is a powerful property, it sparked a lot of interest and we want to get it right,” CW President and CEO Mark Pedowitz said weeks ago.
