Stranger Things 5, but Millie Bobby Brown is still bringing a new project to Netflix. After four years, the dark fantasy film Damsel has finally gotten a release date of Mar. 8. Also starring Ray Winstone, Nick Robinson, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Angela Bassett, and Robin Wright, the film centers on a young woman’s marriage to a charming prince that “turns into a fierce fight for survival when she’s offered up as a sacrifice to a fire-breathing dragon.”
DiscussingFilm broke Damsel‘s announcement back in 2020, with Netflix aiming for a 2021 release. Likely due to COVID, as the announcement came just a week after the first lockdown started, filming didn’t actually begin until February 2022. Brown was cast in the role of Princess Elodie in November 2020, with the rest of the cast being announced in April 2022. Damsel was then scheduled to release in October 2023, but with the SAG-AFTRA strike impacting promotion, the streamer pushed back the date, with Mar. 8 being the final set premiere date.
