On Thursday, Oct. 17, Netflix debuted the first trailer for The Electric State, described as "set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s" and directed by Pratt's Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo. Brown, 20, stars as Michelle, "an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising," as a synopsis teases. The character's worldview is turned upside down when a mysterious robot named Cosmo, who appears to be connected to Michelle's presumed-dead brother, visits her. Michelle realizes she may be able to reunite with her lost brother and sets out on a journey with Christopher, and they meet Pratt's character Keats and his robot Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie) along the way.
