The actor also saidhe wanted to enjoy filmingStranger Thingsseason 5.He said, “[I’m] really trying to be present with the character” and, “I’ve just been very deliberate in the way that I treat coming onto set, just having as good of a time as we can since we know it’s the last season.”
Netflix.tudum.comreported thatthe cast ofStranger Thingsstarted filming the new season in January 2024. Fans can check out pictures of the cast as they shoot season 5, which will have eight episodes. Wolfhard and his co-stars have shared that they are doing their best to have fun filming these episodes since they know it’s the last time they’re stepping into the shoes of their beloved and compelling characters. SinceStranger Thingsseason 1 was released in 2016, the cast has grown up a lot, and now they’re getting ready for the next stages of their careers. There’s no denying thatthe actors looked old inStranger Thingsseason 4and will likely look older than their characters once again in season 5. However, that’s just the reality of the filming schedule.
Wolfhard has starred in several interesting projects since he began portraying the sweet, likable, and sometimes frustrating Mike. He played Trevor Spengler inGhostbusters: AfterlifeandGhostbusters: Frozen Empire, which came out in 2023.Wolfhard has also appeared in several horror movies, includingThe Turningandthe Stephen King moviesItandIt Chapter Two.Wolfhard’s resume includes characters who are finding themselves and their way in the world, just like Mike onStranger Things. Wolfhard is alsodirecting the movieHell of a Summer.
Fans hope each character will get center stage in season 5. Hopefully,Dustin Henderson will be a focus, as he’s a kind person who has been through so much. It will be interesting to see how Mike and his friends have evolved since the events oftheStranger Thingsseason 4 finaleand to see just how action-packed the new episodes will be.
