It is finally November, which means the countdown is on to Stranger Things 5. The first of three volumes hits Netflix over Thanksgiving break, which means there’s plenty of time to cram in some turkey and cry over your fave show coming to an end. This season is the final stand against Vecna, and there is no more powerful weapon to fight him than Eleven. In fact, we can expect Eleven to be more agile than ever, which we saw as she leapt into the air like a straight up superhero in a recent trailer. Millie Bobby Brown says she put a ton of physical work into Stranger Things 5 and really channeled her inner Tom Cruise for this final round.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brown said this during a For Your Consideration event recently. “It was really exciting to be more of a resource this season, not just because of her powers but also her physical training and attributes that she’s put herself through,” she said.
“It was really fun, I definitely channeled my inner Tom Cruise,” she continued. “I feel like Volume One only touches on what she’s been training for, and I’m really excited for everyone to see what that leads to.”
Will Eleven live or die in Stranger Things 5? We can never be sure, but she is the one who literally started this journey, so she will be the one to finish it by any means necessary. Even if that means that Millie Bobby Brown is scaling buildings and taking lots of physical risks like Tom Cruise.
