The beloved Planters mascot Mr.. Peanut is making his silver screen debut today, in Netflix’s sci-fi adventure, “The Electric State.”
Directed by the Russo Brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the film is set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Mr. Peanut, voiced by Woody Harrelson, plays a robot companion in this post-robot uprising world.
Ashley Krautkramer-Gonya, senior brand manager for Planters expressed excitement about the mascot’s new role: “We are eager to see Mr. Peanut step into this bold new role in The Electric State. As an iconic symbol of American culture for over a century, Mr. Peanut has always been about bringing joy, fun and a little bit of unexpected charm to every moment.”
