I think this character represents an evolution in the roles that shes played in her career, Fresnadillo adds.
In this movie, she does a big step in terms of embracing a really strong independent woman.
But she has to grow up.
She has to become strong and independent.
Millie incarnates that in such an amazing way.
And I think thats Robin.
With a gleam in his eyes, the director teases that even Elodies fire-breathing foe has an unconventional twist.
Damselwill debut on Netflix next year on March 8.
