Just days after the first poster for Damsel debuted, Netflix has released the first trailer for the upcoming action-adventure.
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 19, stars as Princess Elodie, who proves that not all damsels are in distress.
After agreeing to marry a handsome prince, Elodie learns that the arranged marriage is actually more of a sacrific by the royal family.
The trailer – set to Timbre Timbre’s 2014 song Run From Me – begins with Elodie running through the woods in a glamorous gold gown clearly not meant for running.
She creeps around the woods, as we hear gutteral sounds of a beast nearby, as its tail is seen whipping by.

Damsel: Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown , 19, stars as Princess Elodie, who proves that not all damsels are in distress
Elodie is seen crawling through a dark tunnel with only a lit-up locket to guide her way.
Later she’s seen ripping strands of fabric off her dress as she’s seen climbing up a treacherous cave, only to find an opening that is hundreds of feet above the Earth.
‘Welcome, Princess,’ an ominous female voice is heard saying, as we next get a glimpse of the royal family including Queen Isabelle (Robin Wright), her King husband (Ray Winstone) and Prince Henry (Nick Robinson).
Isabelle says, ‘For generations, it has been our task to protect our people,’ as we see several citizens all wearing a gold mask to obscure their faces.
Isabelle continues, ‘So tonight, you join a long line of women who have helped to build this kingdom.’
As Elodie enters a cave, he sees the names of several of these women, all etched into the walls of this cave.
The trailer also offers a look at Shohreh Aghdashloo’s unspecified character, as Isabelle adds, ‘The price is dear,’ as we see Elodie fighting for her life.
‘… but so too the reward,’ Isabelle concludes, as a fierce Elodie picks up her sword and gets ready for battle as the trailer comes to an end.

Damsel was supposed to have been released in October, but has been pushed back to some time in 2024, due to delays in production caused by not only the actors’ work stoppage, but the recently settled writers strike.
Brown will also return for a third Enola Holmes film on Netflix, where she plays the little sister of detective Sherlock Holmes, played by Henry Cavill.
The action franchise follows a smart and resourceful teenage girl who wants to flout Victorian society and solve her own cases.
Netflix Head of Film Scott Stuber told the outlet, ‘The Holmes IP is weirdly elastic.’
