Way back in 2020 it was revealed that Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo were developing an adaptation of The Electric State, a film that would star Stranger Things breakout Millie Bobby Brown and be produced by Universal. Apparently the film is switching gears and has landed at Netflix with the streamer confirming it earlier today on social media. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that the movie, an adaptation of an illustrated novel by Simon Stålenhag, moved to Netflix after its budget ballooned to over $200 million. With the upcoming The Gray Man from the Russos arriving on Netflix later this summer, previously confirmed to be their most expensive movie ever, it makes sense why it would change hands.

Set in a retro-futuristic past, it follows an orphaned teen (Brown) as she traverses the American West with a robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother. pic.twitter.com/A9mqvGowax
