Millie Bobby Brown says “Stranger Things” creators Matt and Ross Duffer must get somewhat extra ruthless with the present’s ever-expanding forged.
“It’s way too big,” Brown, who performs Eleven on the hit Netflix sequence, joked in an interview with The Wrap. “Last night, we couldn’t even take one group picture because there was like 50 of us. I was like, ‘You need to start killing people off.’”
The Duffers told the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast that they heard Brown’s feedback.
“What did Millie call us? She said we were ‘sensitive Sallies.’ She’s hilarious,” Matt Duffer mentioned, (*4*). “Believe us, we’ve explored all options in the writing room.”
Brown additionally mentioned the Duffers ought to take a cue from “Game of Thrones” and wipe out a primary character. Noah Schnapp, who performs Will, advised having a bloodbath that takes out half the forged.
The two have been laughing in the course of the dialog so these might not have been very critical options.
Either means, the Duffers mentioned that strategy wasn’t for them.
“Just as a complete hypothetical, if you kill Mike [Finn Wolfhard], it’s like… that’s depressing… we aren’t ‘Game of Thrones,‘” Matt Duffer mentioned on “Happy Sad Confused.” “This is Hawkins, it’s not Westeros. The show becomes not ‘Stranger Things’ anymore, because you do have to treat it realistically, right?”
Matt Duffer additionally pointed to the ripple impact of a single dying early within the sequence.
“So, even when Barb dies, there’s two seasons worth of grappling with that,” he mentioned. “So imagine – is that something we’re interested in exploring or not interested in exploring?”
Matt Duffer did add that some extra deaths have been “on the table” for the fifth ― and remaining ― season.
