The movie is set to hit streaming this March, and Netflix has dropped a new trailer that has Brown pulling a Gandalf and going up against a flaming winged monster.

Check this out:

The official description of the film reads:

A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, she must rely on her wits and will to survive.

The movie is being directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo who was also the director behind 28 Weeks Later. Brown is also joined by a cast which includes Ray Winstone (Beowulf), Angela Bassett (Black Panther), and Robin Wright (House of Cards).

Just like with Enola Holmes flipping the script on the sleuth detective, Damsel also looks to play with the fantasy genre in that we have a princess that is tasked to slay a dragon herself rather than wait for a prince to save her.

With Stranger Things coming back in 2025, Damsel should be right up the alley for anyone missing Brown on their screens going up against insurmountable odds. Hopefully it has more to say about the fantasy trope, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Watch out for Brown when Damsel hits streaming on March 8, only on Netflix.

Millie Bobby Brown Must Slay a Dragon in First Teaser for Damsel https://www.geekfeed.com/slay-a-dragon-in-first-teaser-for-damsel/ Wed, 15 Nov 2023 14:04:46 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79618 Stranger Things may be gearing up for its final season, but star Millie Bobby Brown isn’t any less busy. Besides her Enola Holmes movies, she’s set to star in an upcoming fantasy-action movie called Damsel.

Watch the reveal teaser here:

The official description of the film reads:

A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, she must rely on her wits and will to survive.

Besides Brown, the movie also has a cast which includes the likes of Robin Wright, Angela Bassett, and Ray Winstone. The film is also being directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who was behind filmslike 28 Weeks Later and 2011’s Intruders starring Clive Owen.

While everyone is familiar with the term “Damsel in Distress” we can expect Damsel to possibly subvert multiple tropes when it comes to the fantasy genre. We already have a princess and a dragon; but how will they handle other expected fantasy elements like the prince and evil queen, and other kinds of fantastical creatures.

With the SAG-AFTRA Strike officially over, Brown and the rest of her Stranger Things co-stars can get back to work; but we will have to wait before we can get back to the world of Hawkins, Indiana. Hopefully Damsel will manage to keep fans satisfied until then.

Damsel is set to release on Netflix sometime in 2024.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Gets Disney+ Premiere Date https://www.geekfeed.com/black-panther-wakanda-forever-disney-premiere/ Wed, 04 Jan 2023 16:12:12 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=72749 Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was one of the biggest comic book movies of 2022, and everyone is waiting for the film’s premiere on Disney+. The great news is, we don’t have to wait that long for its release.

As per The Direct, it has been confirmed that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever comes to Disney+ on Friday, January 20. This would have been after 70 days since it premiered in theaters back on Nov. 11, 2022.

Besides the movie itself, we should also expect some special features like commentary and maybe even a look at the deleted scenes. I’m sure there are also going to be some more tributes for Chadwick Boseman, besides the movie itself.

I have to admit, Ryan Coogler was backed into a corner after Boseman died, but this movie managed to pull off being a proper sendoff to Boseman while at the same time being an entertaining comic book blockbuster. Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long until the next film, but even then I wonder how they expect to move forward with Shuri as the new Panther and M’Baku being the new king of Wakanda.

Here’s the official synopsis for Wakanda Forever:

Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with Nakia and Everett Ross to forge a new path for their beloved kingdom.

Catch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever when it comes to Disney+ on Jan. 20.
