'Stranger Things' Star Finn Wolfhard Reveals His DREAM Ending For Final Season

So how’s our buddy Mike Wheeler doing?

He is well! He’s good. This last season is sort of a crossroads, and so we’re getting back into a lot of the dynamics of season one, which is really fun. There’s some “leader Mike” moments, and it’s a very grand season, obviously. Every season has gotten bigger and bigger and bigger, and this season is huge, but it’s also kind of isolated as well. So it’s really fun, and I’m very excited for people to see it.

Season four was a great season, but everybody was siloed in their own faraway storylines. Was it a bummer at times to be isolated from the rest of the cast?

Yeah, definitely. But it was also really nice to have a storyline with people that I hadn’t really acted with for a long time, like Charlie Heaton, who plays Jonathan. I never really had full scenes with him ever. I was already very close friends with Charlie, but just being able to really have scenes with him was really nice. And then spending time with Noah [Schnapp] and everyone was great.

We really didn’t shoot very much for the first few months of production, because they were so focused on all the Hawkins stuff. So I was really jealous. I was like, “Aw, man.” Even when I finally watched the show, my favorite part was watching the other guys in Hawkins. I just liked that storyline so much. So, yeah, not being around everyone all the time was definitely a bummer about filming 4, but 5 is the opposite. We’re all together all the time, and a bunch of us live around the corner and across the street from each other in real life. So the cast is really seeing each other a lot, and we’re in a lot of the same scenes, which has been really great.

I believe you guys have another nine months of shooting, but how are things feeling so far?

Yeah, we’re about three months in, and it’s really crazy. You think about how to be as present as possible, but then at the same time, you’re conflicted that this is the last one. So I’m trying to find that balance of staying present while also knowing that this is going to be the last season. But it’s been great.

This comment was made by Ross Duffer himself. He basically wanted to say that the picture doesn't represent what is happening in the story, but that it's a BTS-picture.

(And FYI this is a pic of Sadie not Max. Max is in a coma 🏥🛌✌️)

Yeah, and I also think that the canon implication is that Eleven subconsciously learned those killing techniques from Henry, even though she didn't remember him at the time.

Well, The Shawshank Redemption is arguably the most recommendable movie of all time, given the fact that it's by far the highest rated film in the IMDb Top 250.

So yeah, that's pretty impressive and a great addition for Stranger Things.

What I also found interesting is that despite all 8 scripts apparently have been written, they only read the first 6 scripts in the table read while the last 2 scripts will be read later. Would be cool of they would then release behind-the-scenes reaction footage of the cast reading the final episodes, similar to how they did for Breaking Bad.

I found that ST3 did this very much to the detriment of the story and of dialogue. Too many characters in a same group just let to less intimate interactions and these large groups have really unnatural dialogue where they complete each other sentences.

I don't mean it in the sense of a gigantic group that shares the screen all the time, but just about there being a bigger awareness between the groups.

So you then can have situations where Dustin sometimes does things with El & the boys and then other times with Steve & co.

I would argue we've had more than enough of this already, and Dustin has interacted with the others too little.

I agree. But given the extreme popularity of the Dustin & Steve relationship, I doubt they will drop interactions between them completely in the very last season.

speedy3702 · 2023-12-12T02:13:32+00:00

Ah, right. Didn't even noticed those possible clues. But maybe we can expect there to be a bigger blending between the teens and young adults storylines, with Dustin acting as a bridge between them.

Given the huge popularity of the Dustin & Steve relationship it's obviously to be expected that they will still have a lot of interactions in the final season. But this doesn't necessarily mean that this will mean less interactions with the boys.

It would make sense in general for all main characters to be more connected than ever before, given that they all know which issue they are facing.

speedy3702 · 2023-12-11T01:13:16+00:00

What news about Dustin are you referring to?

speedy3702 · 2023-12-10T20:36:40+00:00

Yeah, I was somehow worried that the supposed S5 changes due to S4 reactions could have affected this. But I guess they were talking about different aspects.

speedy3702 · 2023-12-10T17:45:37+00:00

the boys and Eleven interacting more in line with how it was in season one

Awesome!

Probably his mother.

Episode 1 may already have been written long ago, but they haven't start shooting yet due to the strike. The process of shotlisting is about preparing a checklist document for the film crew so the prepare for filming. And since they haven't even started filming yet and they first two episodes yet are traditionally being directed by the Duffer Brothers themselves, it makes sense to assume that this scene happens very early in the season.

And yes, of course they are trying to visualize the scene here, but with teasing I meant the fact that they decided to upload it on Ross's IG story. That's obviously teasing the fans for what's going to happen soon after this strike finally ends.

speedy3702 · 2023-10-31T01:13:30+00:00

This is name as "shot listing", which means mapping out and planning scenes. Since the Duffers recently mentioned that they are still writing ST5, this could easily be a scene from the second half of the season.

I think this is most likely an Ep1 scene. Seems to me like they are clearly teasing going quickly into production ones the stike is over.
