Introducing an empowered young woman on screen is elementary for Millie Bobby Brown.
Raised and taught by her eccentric beloved mother, Eudoria , Enola is a free spirit who’s pretty good at fisticuffs, not so great at bicycling, but wondrous when it comes to word puzzles and reading. After her mom disappears on the girl's 16th birthday, Enola's older brother, Mycroft , orders her to go to finishing school, an option that Sherlock quietly dislikes.
Brown’s older sister, Paige, originally put Springer’s books on her radar, and Brown wanted to carry over Enola’s wit from page to screen: “She was so intelligent, but she used it in more of a humorous way whereas Sherlock Holmes really didn’t.” The director admired Brown’s “extraordinary level of spontaneity and invention” but also bravery in throwing herself into the physical aspects of the role: “Whether you were dunking her in a bucket of water and trying to drown her or throwing fireworks at her, she was just so up for it.”
“Obviously, me being me, I annoyed Henry every day,” she says. “I was always telling him about the boys I liked in hair and makeup, and he'd be like, ‘Millie, shut up. I do not want to hear this.’”
