Netflix unveiled a tantalizing teaser trailer on Thursday, unveiling the next colossal adventure crafted by the legendary Russo Brothers, who have left their indelible mark on the Marvel universe. This latest opus, titled 'The Electric State,' boasts a star-studded cast featuring Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, and an army of remarkable robots, promising a thrill ride that's set to electrify audiences worldwide.
Premiering exclusively on the streaming giant on March 14, 2025, the trailer arrived just ahead of the brothers' highly anticipated panel at the buzzing New York Comic Con. Joe and Anthony Russo have teamed up once again with their esteemed 'Avengers' scribes, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, to adapt Simon Stålenhag's mesmerizing illustrated novel into a cinematic masterpiece.
'The Electric State' transports viewers to a retro-futuristic 1990s, where anthropomorphic robots, once harmoniously coexisting with humans as colorful cartoons and mascots, now reside in exile following a tumultuous uprising. At the heart of this tale lies a resilient orphaned teenager (Brown), who embarks on a perilous journey across the American West, accompanied by Cosmo, a charming yet enigmatic robot, and an eccentric smuggler (Pratt) with his own robotic companion, Herman (Mackie). Their quest? To find Brown's long-lost younger brother, who she believed to be dead but now appears to be the mastermind behind Cosmo's actions.
As they delve deeper into the mysterious Exclusion Zone—a fortified desert wasteland where robots have forged their own society—they encounter a cadre of unexpected animatronic allies and uncover a conspiracy far more sinister than they ever imagined. Rounding out this extraordinary ensemble are Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, and Woody Norman, with the voices of Giancarlo Esposito, Stanley Tucci, and a star-filled cast of actors bringing the robots to life, including Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo, and Alan Tudyk.
The Russos, along with Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, Chris Castaldi, and Patrick Newall, serve as producers, while Markus, McFeely, Stålenhag, Tim Connors, Nick van Dyk, Jake Aust, Geoffrey Haley, Jeffrey Ford, Julia Angelin, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, Anthony Muschietti, and Barbara Muschietti hold executive producer credits.
Prepare to be immersed in a world where the past meets the future, where every twist and turn unravels a deeper layer of intrigue. Watch the trailer now and keep your eyes peeled for the poster, both offering a tantalizing glimpse into 'The Electric State'—a journey you won't want to miss.
