Netflix Drops First Look Trailer For The Electric State
Share
The new trailer for The Electric State delivers the first look at the upcoming film by the Russo brothers (Avengers: Endgame, The Gray Man). Set in a retro-futuristic world of robots, the sci-film is an explosive adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novel of the same name.
World Of Robots
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, The Electric State is a spectacular adventure set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes) stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising.
Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher — Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead.
Joining The Adventure
Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo, and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats (Chris Pratt), a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie).
As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colourful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected.
Who’s In It
Joining Brown and Chris Pratt in this Netflix sci-fi adventure are Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, with Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci. In the voice talent department, Mackie is joined by Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo and Alan Tudyk.
When Is It Out?
The new film will be due for release on Netflix on 14 March 2025. You can check out what The Electric State is about through its first look trailer here.
