Director and costar Elizabeth Banks on the film's mid-credits scene and positioning girl power at the heart of 'Charlie's Angels.'
In assembling the star-studded cast of trainers and fellow recruits for the playful end credits sequence in Sony’s “Charlie’s Angels” reboot, writer-director Elizabeth Banks sought women at the top of their game.
The film’s mid-credits scene features cameos from Olympians Aly Raisman and Chloe Kim, race car driver Danica Patrick, former mixed martial arts champion Ronda Rousey and actresses Laverne Cox, Hailee Steinfeld and Lili Reinhart. Michael Strahan also briefly appears in the film as a Bosley, and one of the originalAngels, from the ‘70s ABC series that started it all, makes a cameo in a surprising role .
“I wanted to plant the seed early on in the movie that the universe of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ is bigger than the story of these women that you’re watching,” Banks said. “It’s a reminder that this is an organization that has access and infrastructure worldwide that touches people everywhere, so we said, ‘Let Michael Strahan be Michael Strahan.
Despite the stars’ absence in the film, Banks does consider her movie to be in the same canon as McG’s 2000 and 2003 franchise entries. Banks says that her iteration of “Charlie’s Angels” was inspired more directly by the ‘70s series than the early aughts films. Growing up, she and her two sisters considered the Angels to be “wish fulfillment,” she says.“I wanted to make a movie about women at work,” she said. “That’s one of the things I loved about watching the original show, that those were professional women.
