Damsel is coming to Netflix in 2023. Stranger Things and Enola Holmes star Millie Bobby Brown is used to playing kickass characters and in her latest role as Princess Elodie in Netflix movie Damsel, she is another courageous woman who must rely on her wits in order to survive.

This epic fantasy tale, which also stars Angela Bassett, Ray Winstone, Robin Wright and Nick Robinson, turns the notion of traditional fairy tales on its head, Millie stars as a dutiful damsel who is about to marry a handsome prince but then she discovers that his family have a very different future planned for her. For Elodie has been recruited as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt and when she’s thrown into a cage with a fire-breathing dragon, she must use every ounce of her intelligence and strength to stay alive.

“What I really loved was embracing the idea of a fantasy adventure and a princess and dragon story but taking it into a place where it’s completely upside down,” filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo told Netflix’s website Tudum. “At the core, this is such a beautiful story about a young woman becoming a strong, independent, and empowered adult. Elodie doesn’t have any kind of support. It’s a real survival experience.”
