Millie Bobby Brown has recently joined hands with the Russo brothers for her next film project. The Stranger Things star is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix film The Electric State, by Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo, according to multiple outlets including The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.
According to its listing on IMDb, the film’s plot will focus on ‘an orphaned teenager’ who “traverses the American West with a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.” The screenplay will be written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and adapted from a 2018 book of the same name by Simon Stålenhag. IMDb also lists Marvel Cinematic Universe star Chris Pratt among The Electric State’s cast, while Deadline and THR report Pratt is only in talks as of now.
Aside from 2019’s Endgame, Joe and Anthony directed three other projects in the MCU including, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Avengers: Infinity War (2018). They also directed Netflix’s upcoming action-thriller The Gray Man and produced the streaming giant’s 2020 film Extraction as well as its upcoming sequel.
Meanwhile, The Electric State marks the latest Netflix collaboration for Brown, who has starred as Eleven a.k.a Jane on the platform’s hit sci-fi drama Stranger Things since its 2016 premiere.
