Seven
years
after
Simon
Stålenhag’s
The
Electric
State
was
picked
up
for
a
live-action
adaptation,
and
a
few
weeks
after
first-look
images
were
revealed,
we
finally
have
the
first
trailer.
The
clip
sets
up
what
seems
like
a
big
battle
in
a
retrofuturistic
world
—
but
it’s
hard
not
to
focus
on
the
cartoonish
tech
and
robots,
which
feel
like
goofier
takes
on
Stålenhag’s
distinctive
art.
The
Netflix
adaptation
is
being
directed
Avengers-returnees
Anthony
and
Joe
Russo,
and
according
to
the
streamer
it’s
“set
in
an
alternate,
retro-futuristic
version
of
the
1990s,”
exploring
“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.”
It
features
a
pretty
stacked
cast
including
Millie
Bobby
Brown,
Chris
Pratt,
Ke
Huy
Quan,
Jason
Alexander,
Woody
Norman,
Giancarlo
Esposito,
and
Stanley
Tucci,
along
with
the
voice
work
of
Woody
Harrelson,
Anthony
Mackie,
Brian
Cox,
Jenny
Slate,
Hank
Azaria,
Colman
Domingo,
and
Alan
Tudyk.
The
Electric
State
hits
Netflix
on
March
14th,
2025.
