The Russo Brothers will be returning to the MCU soon, before then they have The Electric State coming to Netflix. Today we get a glimpse at the First Teaser Trailer, which Millie Bobby Brown has a big robot buddy!
This one looks like it will take us on a road trip in a post apocalyptic world. The Electric State is based on Simon StÃ¥lenhag‘s graphic novel of the same name. Michelle (Brown) is a teenager living in a dystopian world which robots and humans lived side by side peacefully until an uprising. She is also hunting for her brother, all thanks to a small robot Cosmo who says he’s controlled by him.
The cast also stars Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci. Plus Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo, Alan Tudyk, all lendig their voice talents.
This visually looks great, however post MCU Anthony and Joe Russo‘s work hasn’t been great. We do hope this will be an exception…

THE ELECTRIC STATE is a spectacular adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising. Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher — Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead. Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo, and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World), a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected.
THE ELECTRIC STATE is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and stars Brown, Pratt, Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito, Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci, and Woody Norman. Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, and Alan Tyduk lend their talents as the voices of the robots. The film is based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag with a screenplay written by Christopher McFeely & Stephen Markus.
The Electric State launches globally on Netflix on 14th March, 2025.
