Stranger Things 4 is now on its 8th week of filming ever since production restarted. With
the estimated amount of footage that they shot in February and March before the quarantine
shutdown, they roughly have about 2 and a half months of work done by now, and based
on the production schedule for seasons 2 and 3, they have around 4 to 5 months left to
finish the rest of the episodes. We can conclude for sure that filming will be finished sometime
in March or April which would point at a release date anywhere from September to December 2021,
depending on how long post production will take. We know that they have 9 episodes this
season, so there will be a longer period for editing and adding visual effects.
Now onto today’s juicy topic. Over the weekend, we got new leaked images from the production
set of Hawkins High in Atlanta, and lo and behold, we got our first look at Finn Wolfhard
as Mike Wheeler. Here, we see him with his best friend, Dustin Henderson, as they both
wear Hellfire Club shirts. I’m guessing the Hellfire Club will sell a lot of merchandise
for next year, if they haven’t done so already. Pretty expensive as well. A lot of people
think that Mike is holding a cigarette here, but it’s just Finn’s glasses, which he
is seen wearing in a latter photo. We also have this small clip of them both running
in a rushed manner. It seems to me that maybe Mike and Dustin are arriving late to school
and are rushing to a Hellfire Club meeting. Maybe after that scene, we will be introduced
to Eddie, and maybe Eddie’s first words of dialogue are what we know from his character
audition video. The video has also been taken from afar and the quality isn’t good enough
for us to tell if they are wearing masks, which if they are, then maybe they are just
running towards the set. However, I doubt that is the case and that we really are seeing
Mike and Dustin running late towards their meeting.
Then we have these two controversial pictures. Here, we see Finn and Gaten standing next
to cheerleaders. I first would like to say that this is from behind the scenes, as evidenced
by all of them wearing masks and producer Shawn Levy talking to them. However, a lot
of people are worried that this is raising the possibility that Mike will be sharing
scenes with a cheerleader and therefore will be in a potential relationship with her or
at least some flirting back and forth. Now, whether this cheerleader is Chrissy, whom
we’ll talk about later, remains to be seen, but in the end, this may just be a character
interaction and maybe Mike won’t share that many scenes with her. Many people felt the
same way in the early days of the Stranger Things fandom when Sadie Sink joined the show
for season 2. Maybe this is just an extra or a character who will be in one or two scenes.
Now, the question remains if this is Chrissy indeed. It is unknown how big of a role she
will have, although her character description and audition tape suggested that she will
at the very least be a focus for the plot of this season. As for who is playing this
character, well we can’t tell if that is Brooklyn Shuck, although a closer inspection
at her leads to that not being the case. There also some rumors from Instagram and Twitter
that this actress, Oona Laurence, is actually playing Chrissy, and that maybe Shuck is not
even in the show. However, nothing is confirmed as of now, and maybe won’t be until sometime
down the road in the future. We know for a fact that Levon Thurman-Hawke joined the cast
but none of the big news outlets have reported on it. It might be the same situation here
and maybe this character right here is not Chrissy at all.
Speaking of rumors, we also have whispers in the wind that this guy, who was auditioning
for another new character named Jason, has been spotted in Atlanta to film Stranger Things
4. Here’s the catch; he will reportedly be playing a younger version of Hopper in
his high school days. We know fur sure that they have been shooting some scenes that will
be taking place in the 1950s and will presumably be flashbacks for Hopper, and maybe for Joyce
as well. I have tried to find the actor’s name everywhere but I couldn’t, even though
we have a video of him. Maybe the creators liked his acting so much and realized that
he should play another character, in this case, young Hopper. Joe Keery, who plays Stranger
Things’ iconic mother Steve Harrington, originally auditioned for the role of his
rival-turned-ally, Jonathan Byers. Assuming this is actually legit, this might be the
same situation here of an actor not getting a role but instead being offered another role
in the same show or movie.
And that is all that we have for today. What do you think about these new set photos featuring
Mike Wheeler and Dustin Henderson? Do you think that Mike will actually cheat on Eleven,
therefore ending Mileven? And what do you think about this new rumor that a teenage
or young adult Hopper will be played by this guy?
