Millie Bobby Brown, the talented young actress who shot to fame in Netflix's hit series Stranger Things, continues to impress audiences with her versatile performances. Now, Brown takes on a new challenge as both the lead actress and executive producer of the upcoming film, Damsel.
This highly anticipated project promises to deliver a feminist fairytale with a darkly comedic twist.

Millie Bobby Brown’s Damsel will provide a feminist angle to the fairytale-kind of narrative
Damsel tells the story of a young woman named Elodie, played by Millie Bobby Brown, who finds herself entangled in a treacherous plot. Initially agreeing to marry a charming prince, Elodie soon discovers that the marriage is nothing more than a cruel trap. Thrown into a cave inhabited by a fearsome fire-breathing dragon, she realizes that her survival rests solely on her own wit and courage.
In this feminist fairytale, Elodie breaks free from the traditional damsel in distress archetype and takes charge of her own destiny. With clever twists and unexpected turns, Damsel challenges age-old narratives and offers a refreshing take on female empowerment. Damsel boasts an impressive ensemble cast, led by Millie Bobby Brown.
Alongside her, viewers will see veteran actresses Angela Bassett and Robin Wright, who bring their depth and experience to the roles of Elodie's stepmother, Lady Bayford and Queen Isabelle, respectively. Ray Winstone portrays the King, while Nick Robinson takes on the role of Prince Henry.
