Millie Bobby Brown’s New Sci-Fi Venture in Choppy Waters
Millie Bobby Brown, celebrated for her role in “Stranger Things,” has embarked on a new journey with Netflix’s sci-fi project, “The Electric State.” The movie, set in a dystopian future, follows Michelle (played by Brown) and her robot companion on a quest to find her sibling. However, the involvement of the Russo brothers as directors casts a shadow of uncertainty over the project due to their mixed track record in the film industry.
The Russo Brothers’ Rollercoaster in Hollywood
The Russo brothers have achieved notable success with Marvel Studios, particularly with the “Captain America” and “Avengers” franchises. Their prowess within the MCU is well-established, but their ventures outside the Marvel realm have been met with less enthusiasm. Films like “The Gray Man,” featuring Marvel’s Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling, received lukewarm responses, exemplified by its 44% approval rating. Similarly, “Cherry,” directed by the Russos and starring Tom Holland, garnered only a 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Could “The Electric State” Break the Pattern?
Despite the Russo brothers’ history of underwhelming non-MCU projects, “The Electric State” might break the mold. The film’s cast includes MCU veterans like Chris Pratt, Jennifer Garner, and Anthony Mackie, which could be seen as a continuation of their Marvel trend. However, the Russo Brothers’ successful collaboration with Chris Hemsworth in “Extraction” provides a glimmer of hope. The narrative of “Extraction,” resembling the rescue mission in “The Electric State,” and parallels with Ryan Reynolds’ “The Adam Project,” indicate potential for success.
The Russo Brothers: Learning from Past Endeavors
The Russo brothers’ journey through various projects suggests a process of refining their craft. The lessons learned from previous films could be instrumental in shaping “The Electric State” into a successful venture, despite their history of fluctuating successes.
The Future of “The Electric State”
As “The Electric State” progresses towards its release, the question remains whether the Russo brothers can overcome their past challenges and deliver a hit. The blend of Millie Bobby Brown’s talent and the directors’ experience could result in a film that defies expectations and captivates audiences.
