Eighteen years old. At the age a lot of young people would currently be looking ahead to a summer of watching Netflix, Millie Bobby Brown is Netflix. She’s not only the superpowered lead in Stranger Things – which still has its fifth and final season to film – but also set to be the star of multiple upcoming movies on the streaming service. A Unicef Goodwill Ambassador, Louis Vuitton house ambassador (sounds Hogwarts-y), the founder of a vegan beauty brand, owner of Pcma Productions and the star of her directorial debut – a short film in which she leaps about on aerial silks like she’s in fricking Cirque du Soleil – she’s the multi-hyphenate to make other multi-hyphenates weep over being such lazy, do-nothing bums. And that’s without even including the unsubstantiated Star Wars rumours.
Here’s what’s coming up next for the Stranger Things star.

It’s that time of year again. While some directors annually share their favorite films of the year, Steven Soderbergh lists everything he consumed, media-wise. For 2021––another year in which he not only released a new film, but shot another (and produced the Oscars)––he still got plenty of watching in.
Along with catching up on 2021’s new releases, he took in plenty of classics, including Jaws, Citizen Kane, Metropolis, The French Connection, and Lubitsch’s Ninotchka and Design For Living. Early last year, he also saw a cut of Channing Tatum’s Dog, which doesn’t arrive until next month. He also, of course, screened his latest movies while in post-production, with three viewings of No Sudden Move and three viewings of Kimi, which arrives on February 10 on HBO Max and the first look of which can be seen below.
Check out the list below via his official site.
