‘Damsel’: Millie Bobby Brown Evades Dragon In First Official Teaser For Netflix Movie

Netflix has debuted the first official teaser trailer for Millie Bobby Brown‘s forthcoming fantasy movie Damsel at Geeked Week 2023.

In the clip, the Stranger Things actress must evade a dragon in its lair or die trying. She can be seen climbing a treacherous opening studded with dragon glass as Queen Isabelle (Robin Wright) can be heard serenely encouraging her to accept her sacrifice. You can watch the trailer above.

Brown stars as Princess Elodie, who agrees to marry a charming prince only to realize she was tricked into being sacrificed to a dragon as a way for the royal family to repay an ancient debt. She must fight to survive or pay the ultimate price.

Damsel was written by Dan Mazeau and directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (Intacto, Linked). It is set to arrive in 2024, although the exact release date has not yet been confirmed.

“We were so lucky to have Millie,” Fresnadillo told Tudum. “She’s a very charismatic, sparkling personality. She has that quality that only stars have, which is you cannot take your eyes off her. She has the ability in this movie, in such a magical way, to bring the audience into her journey and take them into that kind of dark, intense, and thrilling adventure that she’s having. She’s the heart of the movie.”

In addition to Brown and Wright, the film also stars Angela Bassett as Elodie’s stepmother Lady Bayford, Ray Winstone as the King, Nick Robinson as Prince Henry, and Shohreh Aghdashloo in an undisclosed role.

“This is a journey that’s going to take you into a universe that you thought you knew. But we are discovering a new take on fairy tales and fantasy adventures,” says Fresnadillo, who hopes viewers will keep an open mind while watching his fantasy that’s somewhat “grounded in reality.”
