Lately, the Stranger Things fandom has been feeling a little bit down in the dumps. With the franchise on its last leg, fans of the Millie Bobby Brown starrer have been wondering what else the star has in store. While she might have her hands full with her business, Florence by Mills, she still seems to have a full schedule ahead of her. One among that list is Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s Damsel.

While she might be one of the leads in the upcoming film, her co-star is no slouch himself. In fact, from television sitcoms to some of the best tear-jerkers of recent years, Nick Robinson has been dazzling with his outstanding performances.

5 Nick Robinson Films to watch before Millie Bobby Brown’s Damsel

Over the years, the world has watched as Nick Robinson has grown into a man on screen. While he began his career young, it helped the actor bring in a lot of different genres to his portfolio. He might recently be gaining attention as he is set to star alongside Millie Bobby Brown in the upcoming 2024 film, Damsel. With the star being a little bit of an underground actor, here are 5 films that will give viewers an idea as to why he is perfect for his new role.

Nick Robinson is known for his diverse range, his humor is his biggest asset. In 2013, he starred in the comedy-drama, The Kings of Summer. It was a coming-of-age story that followed three teenage best friends. With all of them from dysfunctional homes, the boys choose to embark on a journey that takes place in a house in the woods.

While they try their best to isolate themselves from their families, their plans do not work out quite the way they had planned. Apart from Robinson, the film starred Gabriel Basso, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, and even Hannah Montana star, Moisés Arias. Although the film is ten years old now, it is still considered a classic comedy.

The film may have shown the world the reckless and free side of the then-teen. However, his other projects prove that his range is incredible.

22 years after the original Jurassic Park film, Colin Trevorrow came out with his own Jurassic World. While a lot of things were similar to the first one of the franchise, this time Chris Pratt was in the lead seat. In the film, the star acts as a Velociraptor trainer in the dinosaur theme park with the same name as the film’s title.

While the Marvel actor may have stolen the show, Nick Robinson delivered a stunning performance as a teen who ends up being trapped in the theme park with his family as the dinosaurs begin to run amuck. It also helped stun the world with his versatility and vulnerability by leaving audiences empathizing with his character.

2015 was the year that Nick Robinson decided to show moviegoers that he was a serious actor. He went from taking the role of the comic sidekick to the main character. In a surprising turn of events, he starred in the heartfelt drama, Being Charlie. The Rob Reiner project showed the star in a whole new light. The film focuses on the struggles of addiction and finding oneself.

Apart from that, the film also shone a light on the difficulties the family of an addict faced. However, just when all hope seemed lost, Robinson’s Charlie decided that it was time to put a stop to his nightmare with rehab. While the storyline is sure to leave anyone weeping, the actor’s performance is by far one of his best.

This one is for all the romance girlies. In 2017, Nick Robinson starred in a romantic drama called, Everything, Everything. Again, the star was in one of the lead roles alongside Amandla Stenberg. In fact, she played the main character who suffered from an autoimmune disorder that restricted her access to the outside world. While that meant she practically lived in a bubble, that soon changed once the actor’s character moved in next door.

Although they both end up together in the end, the entire film is filled with various heartbreaks as her mom is extremely paranoid about her daughter’s safety. The film captivated audiences and was based on a novel of the same name by Nicola Yoon. It was also directed by Stella Meghie.

Love, Simon (2018)

Before Netflix came out with Sex Education, Love, Simon was the most hyped film that addressed important aspects of LGBTQ+ members. In the Greg Berlanti film, Nick Robinson played the lead role of Simon Spier. While he looks like a normal awkward high schooler, he is actually harboring a huge secret. It is the fact that he is gay. Although he struggles to figure out a way to come out of the closet, he eventually manages to open up to his family and friends.

While all of this unfolds, the character falls in love with a stranger online. However, once he finds out that it is one of his classmates, he sets off on a mission to find out who it could be. Unlike many LGBTQ+ films, this one became a groundbreaking teen story that perfectly captured the struggles that a homosexual person faces.
