“Of course, people can look at it as pressure or scary, but I think that’s the most exciting part of my job. People are all looking at me, ‘What are you going to say, Millie?’ I’m going to say, ‘Young girls deserve an education. Young people everywhere deserve equal rights. [You] deserve to love the people that you want to love. Be the people that you want to be and achieve the dreams that you want to achieve.’ That’s my message,” she told the publication.
Millie has skyrocketed to fame ever since she landed the role of Eleven in “Stranger Things” in 2016 and she also had major success in Netflix’s 2020 film, “Enola Holmes.”
In July, news broke that the actress reportedly made history with the sequel, “Enola Holmes 2” as she is set to receive a $10 million paycheck for reprising her role in the movie, according to Variety.
This means Millie is setting a record for the largest upfront salary paid to an actor under the age of 20. She stars in the role of Sherlock Holmes’ younger sister in the film series, with Henry Cavill portraying the famous detective opposite her.
Netflix previously confirmed there would be a sequel back in May, when the streaming service’s UK Twitter sharing a message reading, “A sequel is afoot! Milly Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill will return in ENOLA HOLMES 2.”
