“Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown is armed and ready to slay in the first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming fantasy film Damsel, coming in 2024.
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ( Intacto, Linked ) and penned by Dan Mazeau (Fast X), the film sees Brown as a “dutiful damsel” who agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Finding herself face-to-face with a fire-breathing dragon, she must fight to survive.
The action-packed film also stars Robin Wright, Shohreh Aghashloo, Nick Robinson, Angela Bassett, Ray Winstone, and Ulli Ackermann.
“It’s a thrilling adventure with a really dark twist to put you on the edge of your seat,” director Fresnadillo told TUDUM. “As a filmmaker, one of the things I always want to do is surprise the audience with a new take on a story. Especially this kind of [traditional story] — we have to modernize those tales with new takes, more modern and real ways, to connect with the audience.”
Damsel, whose cinematography is reminiscent of “Stranger Things,” is set to premiere in 2024.
