Powerpuff has shared a first look at former Agents of SHIELD star Chloe Bennet in action.

Last month, it was revealed that the actress had been cast as Blossom in The CW's forthcoming live-action reboot of the classic cartoon The Powerpuff Girls, alongside her SHIELD co-star Dove Cameron as Bubbles and Yana Perrault as Buttercup.

Production on Powerpuff commenced earlier this month and the network has now shared an official first look at the project.

All three of the lead stars shared the image to their Instagram accounts, with Cameron captioning her post: "Saving the world before bedtime."

Powerpuff reimagines the former child superheroes as 20-something women who have become disillusioned about their pasts and resentful of the childhood they lost to fighting crime.

When the opportunity arises to save the day yet again, the sisters have to decide whether or not to answer the call.

Last month, Scrubs star Donald Faison was cast as the trio's father/creator, Professor Drake Utonium.

Powerpuff will also star Robyn Lively as Sara Bellum and Nicholas Podany as the show's Mojo Jojo-based villain, Joseph "Jojo" Mondel Jr.

The series will also welcome back original Powerpuff Girls narrator Tom Kenny.

Bennet recently debuted the hair transformation she underwent for her role as Blossom.

Powerpuff will air on The CW, although an air date has yet to be revealed.
