The first teaser for The Electric State has been released, featuring Millie Bobby Brown alongside an unrecognizable Chris Pratt in a gripping new sci-fi mystery. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film marks the brothers’ latest ambitious project, reuniting them with Oscar-winning actor Ke Huy Quan, known for his performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Set in a dystopian future, The Electric State follows Brown’s character, a young woman traveling across the country in search of her missing brother. Along the way, she encounters a mysterious robot with connections to her family’s disappearance. Chris Pratt, nearly unrecognizable in a rugged new look, plays a seasoned drifter who aids her on this journey through a world filled with decaying technology and strange, sentient machines.
The film is based on Simon Stålenhag’s illustrated novel of the same name, which blends haunting visuals with a compelling story about loss and human connection. Known for their expertise in blockbuster filmmaking, the Russo brothers are bringing their signature style to this unique adaptation. The film’s teaser showcases sweeping landscapes, high-stakes action, and a sense of melancholy that permeates the world Brown’s character navigates.
Anthony and Joe Russo previously collaborated with Ke Huy Quan as producers on Everything Everywhere All at Once, the critically acclaimed indie hit that earned Quan an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. In The Electric State, Quan joins the ensemble cast in a key role, adding to the excitement surrounding the project.
“Our goal with The Electric State was to create a story that’s both epic in scope and deeply personal,” the Russo brothers shared in a statement. “Millie, Chris, and Ke Huy bring such incredible depth to their characters, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience this journey with them.”
The teaser hints at the film’s blend of adventure, mystery, and emotional resonance, as Brown’s character confronts the dangers of a world where technology has evolved beyond control. With stunning visuals and an intriguing premise, The Electric State is shaping up to be a highly anticipated release, promising a mix of heart-pounding action and thought-provoking themes.
Millie Bobby Brown, best known for her role in Stranger Things, continues to expand her filmography with complex, genre-bending roles. Meanwhile, Chris Pratt’s transformation for the role has sparked curiosity among fans, as he steps into a darker, more dramatic part. The pairing of these two stars, along with the talents of Ke Huy Quan, sets the stage for a standout cinematic experience.
The Electric State is set for release in 2024, and with the teaser already generating buzz, it looks like the Russo brothers have another hit on their hands. Fans can expect a compelling blend of sci-fi, mystery, and emotional storytelling when the film hits theaters.
