Kristen Stewart is queer AF in the new Charlie’s Angels trailer, Twitter reacts

‘Didn't think Kristen Stewart as a racing jockey would make me that gay but here we are’

Here’s the thing, you may have strong opinions about her, but Kristen Stewart’s energy in the new Charlie’s Angels trailer is bold, loud and queer AF.

The trailer, released Thursday, opens with Stewart on a date with a man while sporting long blond hair. She tells the man, “I think women can do anything,” to which he responds, “Just because they can doesn’t mean they should.” And that turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of his life because Stewart’s character attacked him faster than a fuckboy ghosting you after the first date. The BDE is strong with this one (plus it ended in a wig reveal that will make Michelle Visage v proud).

Elizabeth Banks, the film’s director who also stars as Bosley, said in an interview that K Stew’s performance will be the biggest surprise for Angels fans. “She’s a world-famous beauty, a style icon, but I think what she’s most known for is living authentically,” Banks told People. “Just being herself all the time.”

And no surprise, queer Twitter came out to show support and lust over Stewart’s performance, which is already creating buzz (the days of Bella Swan are officially over!)
