Actor Chloe Bennet has left the upcoming live-action Powerpuff Girls reboot show. The Agents of SHIELD star was set to play the adult Blossom in Powerpuff, which is being developed by The CW.
According to Deadline, Bennet has quit Powerpuff due to scheduling issues. The show's other main stars--Dove Cameron and Yana Perrault--will stay on in the roles of Bubbles and Buttercup, while Blossom will be recast.

Bennet's exit from Powerpuff is the latest setback for the series. The pilot episode was shot earlier this year, but in May, it was reported that it will be entirely rewritten and reshot to reduce the "campy" feel of the first version. The CW's CEO Mark Pedowitz stated that, "because we see enough elements in there, we wanted to give it another shot. Tonally, it might have felt a little too campy, and didn't feel as rooted in reality as it might have felt."
