The Damsel director talks about a potential sequel. Meanwhile, Millie Bobby Brown reacts to sarcastic comments about her accent.
Damsel, starring Millie Bobby Brown, is now available to watch on Netflix. Even though it’s only been a few days since the premiere, director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is already talking about a potential sequel.
Meanwhile, the film’s star responded to comments about her accent. Fans have noticed that the British actress is increasingly using an American accent.
Will there be a Damsel 2?
It’s too early to talk about a possible sequel to Damsel, given that it just came out on Netflix.
The decision to produce the next film largely depends on its reviews and number of views. At the moment, only preliminary critical reviews are available, and they are quite mixed, making it difficult to predict their impact.
Since its premiere on March 8, the film has received mixed reviews and failed to impress critics. According to the website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a Tomatometer score of only 59% out of 80 reviews.
In turn, viewers rated the film slightly higher – 75% of more than 500 opinions. However, in an interview with GamesRadar+, the director said that the potential for a sequel exists.
“I would be glad if I had the opportunity to create a sequel to Lady. But to be honest, we just have to wait for the audience’s opinion and their reaction to the film”.
While it’s too early to talk about a possible Damsel sequel since the film just dropped on Netflix, there are several factors that could influence its future.
If the film can maintain a mixed to positive rating, it may be enough of an incentive for audiences rather than scaring them off.
However, critical reviews do not always play a decisive role in the decision to produce a sequel, since streaming services place great importance on the number of views.
Despite its critical reception, Damsel will likely attract a sizable audience thanks to Brown’s stellar performance, which bodes well for his career.
The film already has significant potential for audiences and a director looking to expand the universe, and Damsel’s ending leaves room for a sequel. While audiences will have to wait to see how Damsel is ultimately received, the door for a possible sequel certainly remains open.
Millie Bobby Brown on her accent
Millie has been involved in acting projects for many years, especially in the USA, where she often plays American heroes. For this reason, the actress grew up in America and changed her natural British accent there. In a conversation with journalist Max Baledj, she mentioned people commenting on her way of speaking.
“I’m an actress. I grew up in the public eye. I grew up in America. I come on set and as an actress I adapt, so I want to imitate other people who have an American accent! And when I’m in England, I want to speak with a British accent! I’m not doing this on purpose, and I’m sorry if it offended anyone!”
