‘Electric State’ Trailer Reunites Chris Pratt With the Russo Brothers

by

As a cinephile with over three decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must say that the trailer for The Electric State has piqued my interest significantly. Having witnessed the Russo Brothers‘ masterful direction of the Avengers saga, it’s thrilling to see them return to their blockbuster roots with a film as visually stunning and ambitious as this one.

Netflix unveiled a fresh trailer for the upcoming sci-fi blockbuster titled “The Electric State“. Laden with impressive visual effects, it showcases an ’80s flair in its portrayal of Chris Pratt. The film appears to be a comeback for directors Joe and Anthony Russo to their grandiose style of movie-making following the character-focused “Cherry” and less expansive “The Gray Man“. Notably, the Russo brothers are renowned for directing the climactic installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, namely “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame“, demonstrating their prowess in delivering a tale as expansive and ambitious as “The Electric State“.

The trailer (available to view below) showcases higher emotional intensity compared to the initial teaser for the movie. It primarily revolves around Michelle, played by Millie Bobby Brown, discovering through a robot that her presumed lost brother might be alive. This revelation propels Michelle on a quest towards “The Electric State,” accompanied by Keats (Chris Pratt), who had previously fought against machines but grew disillusioned with the cause.

In “The Electric State,” the Russo Brothers seem to be back on track with an array of striking visuals and inventive robot/machine designs. The teaser hints at the vast universe and background story of the movie, setting the stage for a world post-war with machines. Familiar faces, names, and voices are also sprinkled throughout the trailer.

‘The Electric State’ is an ‘Avengers’ Reunion for the Russo Brothers

In terms of creative personnel, working on “The Electric State” seems akin to an assemblage of superheroes from the Marvel universe, particularly the Russo brothers. Notably, the screenwriting duo, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who have penned the script for this latest production, also contributed to the screenplays of the last two Captain America films and the two Avengers movies directed by the Russo brothers. This collaboration underscores a strong bond of trust among all four creatives.

Additionally, along with Chris Pratt working again with the Russo brothers, another former Avenger cast member has been confirmed for the voice role of Herman in “The Electric State.” While the exact extent of Anthony Mackie’s character isn’t yet clear, it seems the Russo brothers are fond of utilizing their past collaborations. This suggests that elements from the Avengers films may find a place in the upcoming Netflix movie, “The Electric State.

Apart from the upcoming movie filled with spectacular effects, Joe and Anthony Russo have a challenging task ahead with “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars”, which seems to be their next venture, starting production soon. Despite their return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it’s been invigorating to witness them engage in diverse film and television projects beyond the realm of Marvel. Their upcoming project, “The Electric State”, appears to be their final foray before they revisit what initially made them notable figures in the industry.
