The Electric State: The teaser trailer and the Netflix film with Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt were directed by the Russo Brothers.
Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for The Electric State, the new film directed by the Russo Brothers coming out on March 14, 2025. The cast includes Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Woody Harrelson, Ke Huy Quan, Anthony Mackie, Stanley Tucci, Giancarlo Esposito and many others.
The Electric State is a spectacular adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame set in an alternative and retro-futuristic version of the 90s. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager who must navigate life in a society where sentient cartoon robots and mascots, who once peacefully served humans, now live in exile after a failed uprising. Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is turned upside down one night when she is visited by Cosmo, a sweet and mysterious robot who seems to be controlled by Christopher, Michelle’s genius younger brother, whom she thought was dead.
Determined to find the beloved brother she thought she’d lost, Michelle sets out to the American Southwest with Cosmo and soon finds herself unwillingly teamed up with small-time smuggler Keats (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World) and his wisecracking robot sidekick Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). Venturing into the No-Go Zone, a walled-off corner of the desert where robots live alone, Keats and Michelle find a strange and colorful group of new animatronic allies and begin to uncover that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever imagined.
The Electric State is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and stars Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito, Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci, and Woody Norman. Anthony Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, and Alan Tudyk lend their talents as the voices of the robots in the original version. The film is based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
