Following the successful release of the fantasy action movie “Damsel” on Netflix, there has been a buzz about the possibility of a sequel. The film, which stars Millie Bobby Brown as Princess Elodie, has garnered a mixed response from critics, but its viewership could determine the likelihood of a sequel.
“Damsel” director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has hinted at a potential sequel, depending on audience reception and the star power of Millie Bobby Brown. In an interview, Fresnadillo expressed that he would be “so happy” to make a sequel and teased how the Damsel world is capable of expansion, especially given the ending twist.
The movie is Millie Bobby Brown’s latest collaboration with Netflix after she worked with the streamer on “Stranger Things” and the “Enola Holmes” film series. “Damsel” sees Brown as Princess Elodie, a young woman who agrees to a marriage proposal from the royal family of Aurea in hopes of bettering her own family’s and village’s status.
However, it’s too early to tell whether a sequel will actually happen, given that “Damsel” only just debuted on Netflix. A large part of whether another movie is greenlit will depend on its reviews and viewership rates. As of now, only early critical reviews are available, and they’re quite mixed, making it difficult to predict their impact.
“Damsel” had initially been scheduled for release on Netflix on October 13. But, unfortunately, the release got delayed to 2024, much to the disappointment of eager fans. The movie finally hit Netflix on March 8, 2024
