The Electric State starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt might have to jump over this hurdle brough about by Russo brothers&#039; past.

Millie Bobby Brown’s ‘The Electric State’ Has a Major Curse That Could Tank the Russo Brothers’ Helmed Ship for Netflix

Millie Bobby Brown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/] is among
the lucky few whose Hollywood debut was deemed a stellar breakthrough role in
the sci-fi series Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]. After her spectacular
performance in it, the 21-year-old landed a part in another sci-fi project by
Netflix, The Electric State. The movie follows the story of Michelle, played by
Brown, and her robot friend as they navigate a gloomy future world in search of
Michelle’s sibling. However, the film is at risk due to the history of the
siblings directing the flick, Russo brothers. 

Here is how this director duo’s murky past could affect the upcoming flick. 


WHAT STANDS IN THE WAY OF THIS MILLIE BOBBY BROWN-LED FLICK? 

The Russo brothers have delivered four rather well-received movies for Marvel
Studios, including two each from the Captain America and the Avengers
franchises. However, when it comes to non-MCU projects for which they cast
Marvel actors, the formula rarely worked. A primary example of this is The Gray
Man in which they cast the lead of their Captain Marvel flicks, Chris Evans
alongside megastar Ryan Gosling and yet failed to impress.



The 2022 movie received a disheartening 44% approval rating. In 2021, the duo
delivered the hit Spider-Man: No Way Home helmed by Tom Holland. However, the
same year they teamed up with Holland to direct the war drama, Cherry which
flopped, receiving a mere 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Considering how The
Electric State follows the same pattern with MCU stars, Chris Pratt, Jennifer
Garner, and Anthony Mackie, the curse might cast its shadow on it too!

Besides this worrying factor, there is still a silver lining to it all that
could save the film. 


ARGUMENTS FOR THE ELECTRIC STATE 

One exception to the Russo Brothers’ pattern has been Extraction in which the
Thor extraordinaire, Chris Hemsworth, shone as a mercenary on a mission. Well,
Extraction followed a similar narrative of ‘extraction’ as Millie Bobby Brown’s
character sets out to rescue her brother in a post-apocalyptic world. Not to
forget the similarities the project shares with another stellar flick with a
Marvel star in the lead.

The movie in question is Ryan Reynolds
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/]-led The Adam Project, which
features many overlapping elements with The Electric State

Another thing to note is that the Russo pair may just have perfected their
techniques through trial and error with the aforementioned flicks. This means
that there could be hope for The Electric State despite the Russo Brothers’ past
setbacks.
