Netflix fans have praised Millie Bobby Brown after the streamer released a trailer for her upcoming film Damsel. Millie, 19, who is best known for starring as Eleven in the American sci-fit series Stranger Things, plays the role of a young woman conned into marrying a charming prince.
Her character, Elodie, is thrown off a cliff by her love and ends up trapped in a cave with a fire-breathing dragon. It transpires that the royal family only recruited her as a sacrifice to pay off an ancient debt.
Speaking about her role as Elodie, Millie, who also plays Enola Holmes in the Sherlock spin-off films of the same name, said: "She’s a damsel who doesn’t need to be saved.
She saves herself in many ways. It subverts what you expect: You’re expecting the prince to turn around and save her, and … no.
