The filming of the final season of “Stranger Things” has highlighted notable changes in the dynamic of the cast, particularly the younger members. Unlike their earlier years, the cast reflects a more harmonious atmosphere on set.
Cast Dynamics and Growth
Millie Bobby Brown, who portrayed Eleven, humorously noted the shift in relationships, stating, “We got along! We stopped fighting.” The sense of camaraderie has grown as the cast members matured.
Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas, mentioned a regression to childish antics around his co-stars. “I’m probably the most childish I’ve ever been,” he revealed, indicating that they often revert to jokes from their early teens. The shared experiences of growing up together have solidified their bond.
Adapting to Their Characters
The Duffer brothers, creators of the series, have adjusted scripts to better reflect the actors’ personalities. Brown pointed out that while they captured the boys’ personalities, her character posed unique challenges. “You can’t really write to me,” she explained, due to Eleven’s distinct background and traumatic experiences.
Addressing Challenges and Criticism
Brown, now 21, has faced issues such as sexism within the industry. Earlier this spring, she created a video addressing negative comments that questioned her maturity based on appearance. When discussing with young women who endure online trolling, she preferred a thoughtful response, emphasizing her role as a source of support based on her experiences.
Personal Life and Future Endeavors
Beyond her work in massive Netflix productions, Brown values her personal life away from public scrutiny. She has chosen a quiet life on a farm in Georgia, where she lives with her husband, a baby, and a notable collection of 86 animals.
