Even though shooting wrapped in July of last year and it was officially named as one of the many high-profile original blockbusters to hit the platform before the end of 2023, Netflix has at last confirmed that fantasy epic Damsel won’t be premiering by the time the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Of course, this is hardly brand new information for anyone who’s been tracking Millie Bobby Brown’s dragon-slaying epic considering it was quietly removed from the release calendar all the way back in March, but by revealing the first official poster for 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s latest feature as part of Geeked Week, the entire world has finally been made aware.
Damsel is far from the first Netflix original to have been included in an annual sizzle reel before failing to live up to its promise of hitting screens on schedule, but you can rest easy knowing it’s guaranteed to be a monster-sized hit whenever it does settle on a specific debut.
After all, Joe and Anthony Russo’s $200 million sci-fi adaptation The Electric State.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, the only question left is when exactly in 2024 Damsel will arrive, although the summertime wouldn’t be the worst bet in the world all things considered.
