It’s fair to say that Millie Bobby Brown has been good for Netflix, from her pivotal role in Stranger Things to the recent success of Enola Holmes. We’re now hearing, via Daniel Richtman, that the 16-year-old actress is reportedly getting a big first-look deal with Netflix, which might include being chosen to lead her own action franchise. While details are still thin on the ground, it seems clear that the streaming platform want to keep working with Brown as much as possible.
Brown is still perhaps best known for her performance as ‘El’ (Eleven) on Stranger Things, where over three seasons she has gradually developed from being treated as a lab experiment to evolving into a powerful hero. Over the years, El has also picked up on her lost years of socialization, and in the most recent season had formed a romantic relationship with Finn Wolfhard’s Mike.
Her performance as Eleven have won Brown critical praise, including Emmy nominations and other awards. When not taking part in Stranger Things, she has built up an impressive social media presence, and has become a model for various brands, as well as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. With this in mind, it’s easy to forget sometimes that Brown is just 16, given her ubiquity in the last few years.
How an action-based series built around Millie Bobby Brown would shape up is still unclear, although she has proven herself to be able to handle the genre through both Stranger Things and the Godzilla movies. Meanwhile, her starring turn as Enola Holmes provided her with plenty of opportunities to show off her physical abilities, while she’s already lined up to battle a dragon in the feminist-themed fantasy Damsel, and star in thriller The Girls I’ve Been.
It does seem, though, that Holmes is one of the primary reasons why Netflix are apparently willing to invest in Brown’s future, with the original film breaking records on the streamer in 2020. We could definitely see Brown turning up as a spy or a superhero, and if she does go for an exclusive contract with Netflix, then it may mean that she gets something separate from the MCU or other major series.
What kind of action movie do you think would best suit Millie Bobby Brown, though? As ever, let us know in the comments down below.
