In an age where cinematic universes and superhero sagas dominate the screen, The Russo Brothers, known for their Marvel masterpieces like “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame,” are venturing into a new realm with “The Electric State.” The first trailer for this Netflix original, released on today, has sparked considerable interest, promising a blend of retro-futuristic charm with dystopian elements set in an alternate 1997.

“The Electric State” transports viewers to a world where humanity has emerged from a war with sentient robots, leaving behind a landscape dotted with the ruins of gigantic battle drones and a society still grappling with its technology’s repercussions. The story follows Michelle, portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown, a young girl on a quest to find her missing brother. Her journey isn’t solitary; she’s accompanied by a robot named Cosmo, setting the stage for a road trip through a visually stunning yet hauntingly desolate America.

With a release date set for March 14th, 2025, “The Electric State” stands not just as another entry in the Russo Brothers’ filmography but as a testament to their versatility in storytelling. The trailer, rich with promise, leaves audiences wondering how this new narrative will unfold, what secrets Michelle’s journey will unveil, and most intriguingly, how humanity and technology continue their dance in this beautifully rendered, yet perilously fragile, world. As anticipation builds, “The Electric State” might just redefine what we expect from science fiction cinema, blending the past’s aesthetic with the future’s uncertainties.
