Apart from the brilliant portrayal of the younger detective of the Holmes hegemony, producing the film gave Millie a lot of space. “This is not just a label,” explains Brown. Elaborating on her challenges further, she said, “I had to prove a lot because I am young and I am a girl, and people could think that this is something that has been handed to me.”

Speaking of her ambitions Brown affirmed that she wanted to prove herself on the first installment of the franchise. And rightfully so, she did. Brown has been a firm advocate for women’s rights and empowerment and her actions quite truly justify her ideologies.
