McG has kept the door open for a potential third Charlie's Angels movie starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.
The Charlie's Angels television series was one of the most popular shows of the late 70s/early 80s and it received a reboot in 2000 with Charlie's Angels and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
Nearly two decades later, Elizabeth Banks helmed a new movie, with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska playing the Angels.
Though Diaz is in semi-retirement from acting, McG has kept her in mind for a third movie in the original franchise should it materialise.
"It would take a long discussion with those three wonderful performers who I adore," the director previously told Entertainment Weekly.
"I was very happy to see Elizabeth Banks take the helm and do what she did, which was fun. There always seems to be chatter about that. I'm very happy to discuss it with Drew and Cameron and Lucy, but at the same time, I'm very happy to pass the torch.
"I mean, I love the Tim Burton Batman movies, I love the new Batman movies. It's just sort of like there can be a keeper of the flame and you can pass the torch. Who knows? Maybe we've got one left in us that tells a very compelling story if the opportunity presents itself,"
The 2019 reboot of Charlie's Angels received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and was a failure at the box office.
The cast saved McG from being fired
As McG was a rookie filmmaker when the first Charlie's Angels movie was being produced in 2000, he was constantly threatened with termination by the studio, only for his leading ladies to step in and defend him.
"I love the three of them so much. They put me on the map. They looked out for me when I was a first-time filmmaker. I was very nearly fired off that film on many, many occasions, and Drew stood up for me and I'm forever indebted to her. And obviously, those are three performers where God broke the mould.
"They don't make 'em like that. I mean, those are three special ones."
Diaz is set to come out of her movie star exile to feature in Back in Action alongside Jamie Foxx.
