Damsel (2024) is Netflix’s upcoming fantasy-adventure film, bringing a fresh twist to the damsel-in-distress trope. Starring Millie Bobby Brown as Princess Elodie, the story begins with Elodie preparing to marry a prince from a distant kingdom, only to uncover a shocking truth: she is intended not as a bride but as a sacrificial offering to a ᴅᴇᴀᴅly dragon that has terrorized the land for centuries.
The official trailer teases an exhilarating journey of survival and empowerment, as Elodie must summon her courage and resourcefulness to escape her fate. Instead of waiting for a rescue, she takes matters into her own hands, challenging both the monstrous dragon and the betrayal of those she once trusted. The film showcases breathtaking visuals, from sweeping fantasy landscapes to heart-pounding action sequences as Elodie battles both physical and emotional challenges in her quest for freedom.
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, Damsel is produced by Netflix with a substantial $100 million budget, blending high-stakes action, magical elements, and a powerful, character-driven narrative. Set for a 2024 release, Damsel promises an intense, inspiring story, with Princess Elodie at its center—a heroine determined to rewrite her destiny.
