Millie Bobby Brown makes her debut as Enola Holmes, the sister of fictional detective Sherlock, in the first trailer for her new Netflix film.

The 20-second teaser sees the 16-year-old Stranger Things star declare “‘Tis I” as she dramatically lifts a black veil covering her face.

Netflix appeared to confirm the film’s release date with a message posted alongside the teaser on social media, which read: “alone loshme reeebtpms wnettyrhitd.”

The solved anagram read: “enola holmes september twenty third.”

Based on Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes book series, the film follows Holmes as she embarks on a mission when her mother Eudoria goes missing.

Ignoring the wishes of her older brother Mycroft, Millie Bobby Brown’s character disguises herself as a boy and heads for London.
