Damsel (2024) – New Trailer Unleashes a Fierce Fairy Tale Twist
Netflix has dropped the thrilling new trailer for Damsel (2024), and it’s anything but a typical fairy tale. Starring Millie Bobby Brown as Princess Elodie, the film shatters expectations with a dark and gripping fantasy adventure where the princess doesn’t wait to be saved—she fights to survive.
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the trailer opens with stunning visuals of a mythical kingdom and what seems like a perfect royal marriage. But the tone shifts quickly as Elodie is betrayed by her new in-laws and thrown into a sacrificial cave to face a terrifying fire-breathing dragon. Instead of surrendering, she claws her way through danger with raw determination and courage.
Millie Bobby Brown delivers intensity in every shot, embodying a heroine who’s clever, fierce, and unafraid to challenge fate. The dragon itself is a standout—massive, menacing, and voiced with chilling power by Shohreh Aghdashloo. The trailer teases brutal survival scenes, magical lore, and emotional stakes, all set to an epic score.
The film also features Angela Bassett, Robin Wright, and Nick Robinson, rounding out a strong supporting cast. Unlike traditional fantasy tales, Damsel isn’t about a damsel in distress—it’s about a warrior who never needed saving in the first place.
With a dark tone, stunning production design, and a subversive message, Damsel promises to deliver a fantasy experience that’s as empowering as it is intense. The trailer sets the stage for a high-stakes battle between innocence and betrayal—and one girl’s fight to write her own ending.
