Summary

  • Millie Bobby Brown has two new films coming out in 2024, showcasing her talent, but her future lies in continuing the franchise of Enola Holmes.
  • Enola Holmes is the project that aligns with Brown's beliefs, offering her a chance to stand out and be successful post-Stranger Things.
  • While The Electric State has a star-studded cast, Enola Holmes remains Brown's most exciting future project for continued success.

In 2024, Stranger Things as season 5 gets underway, Brown is working on several new projects that could be potentially be her next big franchise.

In 2024, Brown has two movies coming out: Damsel and The Electric State. Damsel is a dark fantasy film starring Brown as Princess Elodie, a young woman who is trapped in a cavern with a fire-breathing dragon by her fiancé and must use her wits to save herself.

8 Reasons Reviews For Millie Bobby Brown's New Netflix Movie Are So Low

Netflix's Damsel starring Millie Bobby Brown is receiving low reviews due to overused plotlines, wasted acting talent, and ineffective marketing.

Damsel & The Electric State Prove Enola Holmes Is Millie Bobby Brown's Real Stranger Things Replacement

Although Millie Bobby Brown is putting her energy into brand-new films that could evolve into franchises, what these films are really proving is that Enola Holmes is the franchise Brown needs to be spending time on. Though Millie Bobby Brown's next movie has yet to premiere, Damsel is currently streaming on Netflix, and the reviews are lackluster. The movie earned a 59% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a 73% audience score. While this isn't necessarily bad, these scores are bleak compared to Stranger Things and the first Enola Holmes movie, which earned a 91% critics' score.

Even The Electric State isn't quite the right fit for Brown. Though the sci-fi film is truly star-studded, with a cast that includes Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, Jason Alexander, Jenny Slate, Brian Cox, and Anthony Mackie, the film is made up almost entirely of men.

Considering Brown's commitment to previous female-led projects, it seems likely that Enola Holmes would be a project with themes more aligned to her beliefs than The Electric State.

Additionally, Brown has a better chance of standing out as Enola Holmes' main character than as the star of The Electric State.

The Electric State is notably directed by the Russo Brothers, Anthony and Joe Russo.

Enola Holmes Is Still Millie Bobby Brown's Most Exciting Future

Ultimately, Millie Bobby Brown is part of several exciting projects, but in the end, Enola Holmes holds her brightest future. With two movies already out, Enola Holmes has proved that it has a solid fan base and the means to keep going, where other projects like Damsel cannot say the same. If Brown really wants to jump onto another franchise after Stranger Things, Enola Holmes is the most likely to be successful. However, that isn't to say that The Electric State will not do well. In fact, it seems more than likely that, no matter what happens, Millie Bobby Brown will remain in the spotlight in the coming years.
