The Electric State centers on a teenager (Brown) and her robot friend joining a wanderer (Pratt) to track down the girl’s missing younger brother in the 1990s following a war between humans and machines.
“Right now, all of us have something in common,” Brown said in voiceover in the previously released teaser trailer. “We all lost something after the rebellion. Robots lost their freedom. Humans lost connection with each other. And I lost everyone I loved — or so I thought.”
The Russo brothers helmed the film from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely that is based on author Simon Stalenhag’s 2018 novel of the same name. Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, Chris Castaldi and Patrick Newall serve as producers.
During a panel for the film at New York Comic Con in October, Pratt described his emotional connection to the screenplay.
“It’s not the kind of thing that typically gets made to be a blockbuster-style movie like this. It’s so original; it’s a huge swing,” the actor shared at the time. “I thought that these types of movies might be my last opportunity to be in a big movie like this. I have to look at every opportunity like that. And I did. It’s just such a great story. I was moved to tears reading.”
The Russos are known for directing such films as Disney’s Avengers: Endgame and Netflix’s The Gray Man. They are set to helm the next two features for Marvel’s Avengers franchise, starting with 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday.
