"There’s no event that wouldn’t be a Millie event without fans": Millie Bobby Brown
During the unveiling event, Millie Bobby Brown praised her fans and the fandom surrounding her movies and shows. The actress told Indulge Express:
"I think the reason Stranger Things became such a big hit is because of the fandom and then when I made Enola Holmes that became a whole another fandom of people that loved and supported the things I did,"
She added:
"There’s no event that wouldn’t be a Millie event without fans. I think it is a great community of young girls and young people that are able to come together and really celebrate the story of Enola Holmes."
As per Daily Mail, work for the Millie Bobby Brown statue began way back in 2023 when Madame Tussauds artists visited Millie Bobby Brown's Atlanta home to get her exact measurements. As per Tribune, Madame Tussauds London General Manager Steve Blackburn said:
"Move over Sherlock—there's a new Holmes in Baker Street! It's been truly amazing to work with Millie Bobby Brown in bringing her much-loved character Enola Holmes to life,"
He added:
"We can see a lot of similarities between Millie and Enola; both represent smart, confident, and rebellious women challenging and defying societal norms – and are role models for a new generation."
The statue will be available to the public only after July 19, 2024.
