Millie Bobby Brown recently shared her experience of not going through the typical "angsty teen" phase that many people face during their teenage years. The Stranger Things star opened up about how she leaned on the Russo brothers while filming for their upcoming Netflix blockbuster, The Electric State. The 20-year-old actress revealed that she had never experienced the kind of intense emotions and challenges that her character in the movie was going through.
The Electric State boasts a star-studded cast, including Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, and Anthony Mackie. The film is set to release on March 14, 2025, and has been reported to have a budget of $320 million. Millie, along with Chris and the filmmakers, appeared at New York Comic Con in 2024 to discuss the highly-anticipated movie.
During the panel, Millie shared how her role in The Electric State challenged her as an actor. She admitted that she didn't do much preparation for the role as she had just finished filming another project before jumping into this one. However, the Russo brothers helped her find her character's identity and tap into her "teenage angst" for the first time.
Revealing her approach to the role, Millie said that she wanted to channel a 90s Drew Barrymore vibe and even shared images of the actress's iconic looks with the directors. As they worked together, Millie discovered more about her character and was proud of the end result. She also praised the Russo brothers for their direction and the collaboration they had in finding her character's essence.
The Electric State is set in a retro-futuristic version of the 1990s and follows the story of orphaned teenager Michelle, played by Millie. She is accompanied by an eccentric drifter named Keats and a mysterious robot named Cosmo as they search for her younger brother. The duo encounters a colorful group of animatronic allies and discovers that the forces behind her brother's disappearance are more sinister than they had imagined.
During the panel, Millie also gushed about her co-star Chris Pratt and how much fun they had on set. She admitted to being intimidated initially to share the screen with such a big name, but Chris's friendly and welcoming nature immediately put her at ease. The Enola Holmes star also shared that she and Chris had met a few years before and that she was a huge fan of his work.
Chris also couldn't stop praising Millie and their on-screen chemistry. He shared how she had a huge heart and a love for animals, as well as her now-husband Jake, who was on set every day. The Guardians of the Galaxy actor also revealed that they had become fast friends and joked that Millie couldn't get rid of him now.
The Electric State has been in the making for years, and both Millie and Chris are excited for its release in 2025. The movie promises to be an exciting and thrilling ride for viewers, and the chemistry between the two stars is sure to make it even more special. Fans can catch The Electric State on Netflix next year.
