Kristen shared the screen with Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska in the revamped version of McGee’s two Charlie’s Angeles films, which originally starred the iconic trio of Liu, Barrymore and Diaz.
McGee’s 2000 film and its 2003 sequel, both based on the original five-season Charlie’s Angels drama starring Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, grossed a total of $250 million at the worldwide box office.
In contrast, the 2019 reboot earned a disappointing $73 million worldwide and was panned by critics.
However, Kirsten did argue that restarting the Banks was ‘a good idea at the time’.
She also delved deeper into the Twilight franchise, an adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novels that starred Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
“I mean, Jesus Christ, Taylor (Lautner) and Rob and I, and it’s so hidden and not okay,” she revealed.
“I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book. It’s all about oppression, about wanting what will destroy you. That’s a very gothic, gay tendency that I like.”
The star also explained why she decided to appear on Saturday Night Live during her 2017 monologue.

“It was cool to put it in a funny context because it could say everything without having to do an interview,” she explained, before adding that she wanted to be the one to make the announcement.
“So what platform will that be on? And who is going to make money from that? And who will be the person who broke it?’ “I broke it, alone,” she said.
“It wasn’t even like I was hiding,” she continued. “I had been so openly dating my girlfriend for years at that point. I’m like, ‘I’m a pretty relatable person.'”
At the time, however, she was frustrated by the prying interest in her sexual identity.
“For so long I was like, ‘Why are you trying to spit me out? Why are you trying to ruin my life? I’m a kid and I don’t really know myself well enough yet,” she explained.
