Chris Pratt, a seasoned actor known for his roles in blockbuster films, recently shared an emotional moment surrounding his involvement in The Electric State , an upcoming sci-fi epic. During the New York Comic Con, Pratt revealed that after reading the script for the film, he was so moved that it brought him to tears. He had originally planned to take a break from acting, but the compelling narrative and the opportunity to reunite with his former collaborators—directors Anthony and Joe Russo—changed his mind. The Russo Brothers, known for their massive success with Marvel films like Avengers: Endgame , teased the project alongside co-star Millie Bobby Brown, adding to the excitement surrounding its March 2025 release on Netflix.

The Electric State , based on Simon StÃ¥lenhag’s graphic novel, explores a retro-futuristic 1990s world where humans and intelligent machines co-exist after a devastating war. Brown plays Michelle, a young woman on a mission to find her brother, accompanied by a mysterious robot. Pratt portrays Keats, an eccentric drifter who joins her on this cross-country journey. The film's blend of emotional depth and large-scale adventure is what caught Pratt's attention. He admitted that stories like this don’t often get turned into blockbuster films, and the originality of the script felt like a rare opportunity.
The project has been a long time in the making, with the Russos working on it for five years. They praised Stålenhag's artwork and the challenge of adapting such a complex visual world into a two-hour feature. The directors mentioned that while the graphic novel offers glimpses of a larger universe, their film narrows in on a specific, more focused narrative.
Fans were treated to exclusive footage during the Comic Con panel, showcasing the film’s mix of 1990s nostalgia, from VHS tapes to Beanie Babies, all set against the backdrop of advanced technology and robot wars. This combination of retro and futuristic elements is a hallmark of StÃ¥lenhag’s work, and the film promises to evoke memories of classic '80s and '90s cinema, drawing inspiration from directors like Robert Zemeckis.
Pratt’s involvement and the emotional connection he has with the story add another layer of anticipation. His heartfelt reaction, paired with the Russos' epic storytelling, has set high expectations for The Electric State , making it one of the most anticipated films of 2025.
