It's been a while since we had any updates on this one, but Netflix (via SFFGazette.com) has now shared a first-look image and some footage from Damsel, which stars Stranger Things alum Millie Bobby Brown as a princess with a bit of a dragon problem.
The Enola Holmes star plays Elodie, a princess who agrees to marry the charming Prince Henry before coming to realize that his royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to a dragon to repay an ancient debt.
When it becomes clear that no knights in shining armour are coming to save her, Elodie decides to take matters into her own hands and slay the fire-breathing beast herself.
It's difficult to get a proper read on this from the few seconds of footage in the Netflix 2023 preview below, but the cast is strong, and it sounds like a fun premise.
Damsel is directed Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later, Intruders), and also stars Angela Bassett, Robin Wright, and Nick Robinson.
The fantasy adventure is set to premiere on October 13.
