For an actor whoâs been heralded as one of the fastest-rising young stars in Hollywood for several years now, Millie Bobby Brown hasnât appeared in a huge number of theatrically released movies.
In fact, sheâs only been in two, which has done absolutely nothing to prevent her from climbing the industry ladder. The unstoppable rise of streaming has completely shifted the paradigm of what stardom is and how it can be achieved and maintained, with Brown one of the shining examples of its evolution.
Sheâs only 20 years old and has a smattering of credits in her filmography, yet sheâs one of the jewels in Netflixâs crown and one of its most valuable in-house commodities. Could she open a movie at the box office based on her name alone? Probably not, but place her front and centre in one of the streaming serviceâs original projects, and itâs guaranteed to draw in a massive audience.
For further proof, look no further than what sheâs already accomplished. As one of the focal points of Stranger Things, the cultural juggernaut thatâs arguably Netflixâs flagship original series, she became famous worldwide in an instant when the sci-fi/fantasy show became one of the most-watched and talked-about shows in years.
Since then, sheâs produced and starred in the literary adaptation Enola Holmes and its sequel and pulled double duty as the lead and executive producer of the fantastical blockbuster Damsel. The common thread between them, other than Brow,n is that all of them were anointed as one of Netflixâs ten top-viewed original films of all time within 28 days of being released.
Itâs inevitable that 2025âs The Electric State will follow suit, especially when itâs got Marvel Cinematic Universe veterans and The Gray Man directors Joe and Anthony Russo behind the camera with Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, and Colman Domingo among the ensemble, not to mention the in-development Enola Holmes 3, The Girls Iâve Been, The Thing About Jellyfish, and the adaptation of her debut novel Nineteen Steps, all of which are set up at Netflix.
As a result, the entire sum of Brownâs big screen credits extends to two blockbusters and one character: making her theatrical and feature debut as Madison Russell in the creature feature Godzilla: King of the Monsters, she reprised the role in its crossover sequel Godzilla vs Kong, which remain the only two movies sheâs been in that werenât Netflix exclusives.
So, what was her first acting role?Stranger Things may have propelled Brown to household name status, but her first onscreen appearance came three years before Matt and Ross Dufferâs ode to 1980s genre fare premiered on Netflix when she played a young version of Alice in two 2013 episodes of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, the short-lived spinoff of Once Upon a Time that was cancelled after a single 13-episode season.
Her first leading role was as a main cast member on the supernatural BBC series Intruders, which also wasnât long for this world after being canned following its initial eight-episode run. Single-episode stints on NCIS, Modern Family, and Greyâs Anatomy followed before she landed the role of Eleven in Stranger Things and never looked back.
Fast-forward less than a decade, and sheâs directly competing with Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison production company to be named the single biggest guaranteed draw Netflix has at its disposal, an outcome few could have predicted when she was known for playing Eleven and little else.
The streamer is clearly confident in her abilities as both an actor and producer, though, after distributing four of the six movies sheâs been in so far, and sheâs been involved on the production side with three of those, with at least another four in the works behind the scenes.
