To end the nightmare that Vecna has created for our nerds in Stranger Things 5, everyone — the full party — must stand together, one last time. Ahead of that big battle, the cast and creators assembled for a premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on Nov. 6 — Stranger Things Day — to celebrate the show’s fifth and final season.
In a red-carpet interview, Millie Bobby Brown teased what fans can expect from her character Eleven in those epic final episodes.
“I don't think I've ever seen Eleven so locked in. So I’m really excited for audiences to see that,” Brown told Josh Horowitz, one of the evening’s hosts. “She has a goal and a mission in mind, and I’m excited for the audiences to root for her like they’ve been doing for the last 10 years. But, this time, for one last adventure.”
When it comes to Season 5, Brown looks forward to fans seeing “how everyone's storylines tie back to Season 1.”
“I think that’s going to be really satisfying to everyone who … I’m a huge Season 1 lover, anyway, so I think it’s really nostalgic, and I think you get to see elements of Season 1 [coming] back into Season 5,” she added. “And in some ways, of course, that relates to Eleven.”
Watch the sweet exchange below.
Brown also opened up about how her beloved character has resonated with the show’s loyal fan base.
“I’m very, very lucky that I’m able to meet these young people who are so deeply moved by Eleven, her story, her personal struggles,” she said. “It’s been a wild ride. Her story has resonated with so many people…. She’s helped me grow in a lot of ways. So, as a young woman myself, I deeply am inspired by her.”
