The Electric State 2 & The Universe's Expansion Get Definitive Response From Director Joe Russo
The Electric State has fallen flat with critics.
The Russo brothers’ The Electric State may have only just landed on Netflix, but Joe Russo has already addressed the possibility of a sequel. Based on the illustrated novel by Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag, the Russo’s latest big-budget outing unites Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown with Guardians of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt in an effects-laden sci-fi adventure set in an alternate 1990s. Released on Netflix on March 14, The Electric State’s supporting cast also boasts a notable list of talent, including Stanley Tucci, Giancarlo Esposito, Ke Huy Quan, Woody Harrelson, and Anthony Mackie.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Joe Russo admitted that while he and his brother have no plans to develop a sequel to The Electric State, they do intend to expand the property in other ways. In addition to a tie-in mobile game, dubbed The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, the director revealed that they are also discussing a possible television show. Check out his comments below:
We love immersive worlds, so we always try to build worlds that have the capability for future storytelling, because that's what we like. There is a game currently that's being released with the movie, and we're in discussions around a potential show idea that could work for it, but no sequel conversations as of yet.
Reviews For The First Movie Have Been Largely UnderwhelmingEven before its streaming release, the critical responses to the Russo’s latest offering have been largely underwhelming. Serving as the lowest Rotten Tomatoes premiere score of Brown’s career, reviews for The Electric State have repeatedly taken issue with the movie’s departure from the source material, plotting and performances. However, the general audience response has been far more positive, and the movie’s current 73% RT audience score speaks to yet another example of a growing divide between the opinions of professional critics and general viewers.
As of writing, The Electric State has a 15% critical score and a 73% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Whether this kind of response may be enough to prompt Netflix to develop a sequel that picks up directly after The Electric State's ending is a matter of some debate, but it is clear that the movie is still generating enough interest to justify early discussions about a tie-in television series. However, there is a significant difference between potential discussions and receiving an official series order, and the streamer may still be waiting to see what the movie’s viewership numbers look like before committing to any longer-term plans.
The other major factor Netflix will have to consider in expanding The Electric State beyond its first installment is the price tag that comes with a potential sequel or TV show. Reports have already put the first movie as having a production budget of up to $320 million, making it both one of the most expensive movies ever made, and Netflix's most expensive project. If the movie doesn't garner a large enough viewership to make for a profitable return on it, The Electric State 2 may not get off the ground.
A TV Show Could Answer Many Lingering QuestionsImage via Netflix
While those familiar with Stålenhag’s work may bemoan the Russo brothers' departure from his original illustrated novel, The Electric State's 1990s-inspired brand of retro-futurism still appears to have struck a chord with many viewers, despite what critics have said. With the movie only just scratching the surface of a world divided by the effects of the war between humans and robots, a television series could potentially address many of the lingering questions about the movie’s unique sci-fi premise. However, whether those plans may evolve beyond the Russo’s initial discussions remains to be seen.
