At 22, Millie Bobby Brown has already played two fan favourite characters across franchises — Eleven in Stranger Things across the show's five seasons and the titular Enola Holmes in the film franchise, which recently came out with its third instalment. However, Millie Bobby Brown already has her eye set on another iconic character — James Bond.
Point out that her Enola Holmes 3 co-star Louis Partridge is rumoured to be in consideration for playing the suave British spy and she presents quite an interesting take on it. She says, "I think I should be the next James Bond, why am I not in that running? Can we get me in that running?" But she is happy for her co-star Louis Partridge. “I don't like all the competition and the speculation. All that matters is that he's my James Bond and whatever it will be, what's great is that they'll find the person for it, whoever that may be. But Tewkesbury is Louis, hands down. There's no other person that could ever play him,” she insists.

As she returned to play Enola Holmes for the third time, Millie shares what makes her excited about coming back to the character every time. “She's just a really fun character to play. I have a lot of fun with the script, with the lines and I love working with Louis. Enola and Tewksebery’s relationship is blossoming and growing in this film, and I was just ready to jump into it full force. It’s very exciting that Netflix wants to continue with the franchise,” she says. But does it get easier returning to a loved character with each part, or more challenging with the expectations that mount with it? “It gets easier. Of course there is always the pressure of hope that the audience is enjoying the evolution of this character that I'm building, but I don't necessarily think it gets harder,” she asserts.

{{/usCountry}}Mention to Millie that she has played strong female characters which were set in a time period when women were undermined and she says, "That's what I believe in, bringing more women to screen, women that are capable and heroes in their own story. It's very impactful and meaningful, and I am very excited to continue on bringing characters like that to screen that show range and slowly, leaving the action world, entering into the romance world and then more to come."
