The unusual request to the actors of Stranger Things 4 to look smaller

There is very little left for us to see Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Will, Max Y Eleven (Eleven) face the adventures of Stranger Things 4. Netflixthe Duffer brothers and the rest of the cast are ready for the final season of the 80s story that brought the “N” to the top in 2016.

Finn wolfhardMillie Bobby Brown Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp Y Gaten Matarazzo they were, on average, 12 years old when they first appeared in the series. Now they are all 17 to 20 and it can be said that the characters they play have not grown much. In the fourth season, the group of friends is at 15 and they, the actors and actresses, are young adults.

This brought two problems: the voices and the height of the characters. And the Stranger Things artists knew this very well, so they confirmed in a recent note that their growth was a problem for the production.

“It’s something we’ve always thought about, but I think we’ve worked really well on it,” Gaten (Dustin) told Today. The actor joked that “he’s the same size since he was 14 years old”.

“I remember the second season they told me I had to lower the tone of my voice, that I had to speak on a different level and be lower … I said:‘ I can’t do that, I ’I’m not like that anymore , ‘”Schnapp added. (Will).

Something similar happened to the Harry Potter interpreters, but their characters grew a bit more between film and film than Stranger Things. In Netflix production, three years have passed between seasons 3 and 4 and in diegesis, in reality, you can see that little time has passed.

The premiere of the fourth season of Stranger Things will air on Netflix on May 27. The finale will be split in two. The first volume will arrive on the 27th along with the first episodes, while the second will arrive on July 1st.

There isn’t much detail of the plot, but know that Jim Hopper (David Harbor) is alive and that he is “the American prisoner.” The intrigue about whether the character died or not remained from the end of the third season, but the question was resolved in the teaser for the new season.

The Duffers have confirmed the existence of a new villain taken from Dungeon and Dragons (such as Demogorgon), and this can be attributed to the character of Robert Englundwhich we will refer to below.

A legend joined

One of the biggest novelties of Stranger Things 4 is the addition of Robert Englund to the cast. Englund is not just any actor and his career is also no stranger to the Duffer series. The actor is famous for playing Freddy Krueger in the famous Nightmare saga.

Strangely, Englund himself suggested to the producers that they consider his involvement in the outcome of the story.

“The fact that he came to us at a time that was so deeply inspired by Nightmare and his acting, especially in those films, was like destiny. It’s like saying, ‘Okay, this is meant to be,'” said one of the Duffers. IGN.

In the season trailer we will see a preview of what will happen Victor Creel, the murderer the actor will face. It was a criminal who in 1959 murdered his entire family (wife and two children) and for this reason was confined to Pennhurst mental hospital. His participation will carry important weight in history and his young version will even be seen.

About neighbor, another facet of the villain, Duffer detailed, “We wanted a presence on set that our actors could react to, whereas in season three they reacted to the beach ball. We want something we can film, and I think this villain is scarier and more real and visible, and we’re really excited to see him this season. ”
