Millie Bobby Brown, who landed her Stranger Things role at just 10, has enjoyed a streak of successes, with the show soaring to phenomenal heights and her portrayal of Eleven earning widespread acclaim. As filming wraps on the much-anticipated final season, Netflix has long been a lucky charm for her. However, with her next major Netflix project, The Electric State, early signs suggest that luck may not be on her side this time. 

With every tide that surges high, a fall is inevitable. Could Millie Bobby Brown’s Netflix project, The Electric State, mark the unexpected downfall of her once-unshakable streaming success?

The streak of disappointing news continues for Millie Bobby Brown’s latest sci-fi epic, The Electric State. Set to debut on Netflix next week, the film, loosely inspired by Simon Stålenhag’s 2018 novel, pairs the Stranger Things star with Chris Pratt. However, early reviews paint a grim picture—garnering a mere 23% on Rotten Tomatoes from 22 critics. 

With Netflix putting $320 million on this venture, Brown’s “Netflix baby” career, about which she recently opened up, might now take an unexpected turn after her Stranger Things triumph. Although this may appear less catastrophic, it marks a minor improvement from its original abysmal 10% rating. As additional reviews emerge, the score may change. Despite The Electric State’s rating, Joseph Russo and Anthony Russo did not dwell on it. Instead, they teased upcoming Marvel projects, keeping anticipation high.

Joseph Russo and Anthony Russo’s storytelling mastery has shaped every Marvel Cinematic Universe project they have helmed, earning audience trust. With their focus split across ventures, their Marvel commitment now feels more like an interlude.

At the grand debut of their film starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, The Electric State, Joseph Russo and Anthony Russo remained tight-lipped about the much-anticipated Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: SW, slated for 2026 and 2027. When questioned about potential new characters and the integration of X-Men or Deadpool into future Marvel projects, Joseph Russo playfully told Deadline, "who knows? I do not know. I do not know who we are going to see. I still do not know”

Despite their history of making big promises, both directors stayed elusive, while Chris Pratt and other cast members with connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe did the same. In response to a question concerning a potential comeback to Marvel following his crucial Guardians of the Galaxy role, Pratt said that  "fans would be thrilled" but did not reveal anything. Their evasive answers fuel conjecture and guarantee that fans are eager to see what the Marvel universe will bring next.
