Netflix viewers are on the edge of their seats waiting for the first instalment of a new film release starring Millie Bobby Brown. Damsel premieres on March 8 with Angela Bassett, Robin Wright, Nick Robinson, and Ray Winstone also on the cast list.
Milly plays the 'determined and courageous' Elodie in this fantasy adventure where the traditional fairy tale has been completely 'flipped upside down.' The story will follow a princess whose happily ever after is 'brutally interrupted' when her Prince Charming sacrifices her to a dragon. “She’s a damsel who doesn’t need to be saved,” Milly told Netflix. “She saves herself in many ways. It subverts what you expect: You’re expecting the prince to turn around and save her, and… no. Don’t wait for the prince.”
The dutiful damsel Elodie agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to discover it was all a trap. The royal family recruits her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. She’s then thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, where she has to rely solely on her wits and will to survive.

Impatient viewers quickly responded on X (formerly Twitter) after viewing a trailer shared by Netflix today Tuesday, February 20), featuring glowing rocks, giant swords and a fire-breathing dragon.

Millie Bobby Brown is addressing criticism she’s been receiving for her accent.
Millie Bobby Brown had fans wondering what’s going on with her accent after her recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“There are many stories of chivalry, where the heroic knight saves the damsel in distress…. This is not one of them,” Millie Bobby Brown intones in a solemn voiceover at the beginning of filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s distinctly unexceptional fantasy film, “Damsel.” And from this day forth, let’s make a cinematic decree that no film should ever be allowed to begin with such a banal “this is not one of these stories” proclamation, and the trope should be henceforth forever banished from the kingdom of movie narratives—especially when said film is so disposable with nothing to say about its already paper-thin ideas.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic A medieval word with a highly specific (but often misused) meaning, “damsel” describes a young, unmarried lady-in-waiting. It’s also the broad title given many a helpless heroine in Hollywood movies — the proverbial “damsel in distress,” trussed to the train tracks or otherwise waiting to be saved.
