The Electric State director The Russo Brothers, known for directing Avengers: Endgame, are currently in the news after the release of their latest film on March 14, 2025. Based on a sci-fi novel by Simon Stålenhag, the film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. It is set in an alternate 1997 where a runaway girl and her robot traverse a dystopian America. Produced by Netflix, the film is currently facing a lot of backlashes because of its poor performance and lack of authentic Russo Brothers touch. Moreover, The Electric State is now the most expensive Netflix movie with a baffling budget of $320 million.

While talking to Collider about The Electric State, the brothers opened up about The Electric State and their upcoming projects. Talking about the VFX and design technology, Joe Russo opened up saying it took them five years and understanding the production technology of Infinity War and Endgame to create advanced motion of this level. However, the budget and all this technical work didn’t turn fruitful. Rolling Stone critically wrote, “The one good thing about content, however? You’ll instantly forget everything about this, other than the fact that those two hours of your life are gone forever.” With 16% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s now up to the viewership, if the film will become a hit on Netflix.
