Watch Millie Bobby Brown in The ‘Damsel’ Trailer

Netflix’s upcoming release, ‘Damsel,’ promises to catapult Millie Bobby Brown into a whole new world of on-screen prowess. This action-packed fantasy flick sees Brown shed her familiar roles, diving headfirst into the world of adventure and daring feats.

In the trailer, we catch a glimpse of Brown’s character, Princess Elodia, locked in a fierce battle against a fire-breathing dragon within the confines of a shadowy cave. What’s intriguing is that Elodia isn’t waiting around for a knight in shining armour to rescue her; she’s taking matters into her own hands.

Speaking to Netflix’s Tudum, Brown explained, “She saves herself in many ways. It subverts what you expect: You’re expecting the prince to turn around and save her, and… no. Don’t wait for the prince.”

Scheduled for a global release on 8th March, ‘Damsel’ has already ignited excitement with its fiery poster, featuring Brown brandishing a sword, exuding determination and bravery. The trailer also introduces Nick Robinson as Prince Harry, set to wed the princess until a startling revelation throws their plans into disarray.

Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo shared insights into the film’s conception in an interview with Netflix, highlighting the script’s fresh take on traditional fantasy tropes. “What I really loved in the script from Dan Mazeau was embracing the idea of a fantasy adventure and a princess and dragon story but taking it into a place [where] it’s completely upside down,” he remarked.

“At its core, this is such a beautiful story about a young woman becoming a strong, independent, and empowered adult. Elodie doesn’t have any kind of support. It’s a real survival experience.”

Fresnadillo emphasized the immersive nature of the film, where viewers are thrust into Elodia’s journey of resilience and confrontation. “You feel that you are experiencing the journey of surviving and facing this creature with Elodie. The emotional arc is so intense.”

‘Damsel’ boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Ray Winstone, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Angela Bassett and Robin Wright, alongside Brown and Robinson. With a stellar production team led by Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Chris Castaldi, supported by co-producer Emily Wolfe and an array of executive producers, including Brown herself.
