Chloe Bennet Finally Addresses Those Secret Invasion Rumors

The rumors about Chloe Bennet returning to play Daisy mainly started when the star dropped out of The CW's "Powerpuff Girls" live-action TV series, with many fans on Reddit assuming that she left the project in favor of "Secret Invasion." But the star recently took to her Instagram story (via ComicBook.com) to squash the rumors, saying "I have avoided saying anything like this in general, on social media or whatever, because I thought maybe it would blow over, but it has not."

The "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star went on to outright deny the "Secret Invasion" rumors: "I am in no way attached or involved, even at all or a little bit, in the Secret Invasion Marvel thing. I honestly don't even know really what that is." 

This sounds pretty definitive — which is understandable, since Bennet is getting harassed by fans about the series. She added, "I am only coming on here to say this because it has gotten to the point that every day I'm getting hundreds of messages about this."

The actress ended the Instagram story by explaining "I'm now getting like approached in person. Today it was in the tampon aisle at Target... So I figured I would just clear the air." 

Obviously it wouldn't be the first time a star has denied their involvement with a future Marvel project: Tatiana Maslany also completely denied being in "She Hulk" before it was later confirmed she'll lead the series. In this case, though, Chloe Bennet's comments do sound convincing.
