And now, let us begin...
With a summer 2024 release date already on the map for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts,
and Stranger Things 5 expected to begin filming shortly after writing on the final season
is finished, it looks like David Harbour is already booked and busy for most of 2023.
In a new interview with Collider, the actor revealed how he feels about his packed schedule,
with such big franchises both demanding his attention.
In fact, Harbour revealed that he's very lucky indeed, as both projects are set to film in
the same place at the same time.
Here’s what he had to say;
“Uh, yeah, next year is going to be a very tough year for me schedule-wise.
We’ve already gotten to a lot of that.
Um, I mean the thing is that is gratifying is that they are two things that I love.
I love both characters very much.
It will be my goodbye to Jim Hopper, which is a big deal.
Fortunately, I feel like I have a long time to say goodbye because I think we're going
to take a long time shooting these episodes.
I know those Duffer brothers are very specific, and I know they want to get that last season.
I mean if you look at Season 4, I have a feeling that Season 5 may not be as long, but it certainly
will be packed to the brim with good stuff that you love.
I mean, they really are getting better and better at giving you that home run that the
audiences love.
And I think that Season 5 will do that so much.”
It is very sad to hear that season 5 will be the final time that David Harbour is playing
Jim Hopper.
That is unless they do a Stranger Things reunion decades from now in the form of a movie or
another season.
As for the production schedule for Stranger Things 5, it sounds like Harbour will be jumping
back and forth between projects since he will play the Red Guardian once again in Thunderbolts.
He first played the character in Black Widow alongside Florence Pugh, who will also be
joining him in the superhero crossover film.
As for how he’ll do Stranger Things and Marvel’s Thunderbolts at the same time,
Harbour is just as confused.
He said:
"It's going to have to be a back-and-forth with me.
They're going to have to sort of share me.
And so it is kind of like, I don't know exactly how they're working it, but it's a week on,
week off, two weeks on, two weeks off, something like that where I would go back and forth.
They both are being shot in Atlanta.
That may have also been structured in a certain way, but yes, it is helpful.
So I can just literally shoot a scene in Stranger Things and get in my car and run over to the
Marvel Studios to shoot a scene there maybe."
The great thing about Harbour doing both projects is that while it may be a lot of work for
him, the filming schedule for Stranger Things season 5 will not be affected by it.
Still, we have to wonder how much screen time Hopper will have this season, and if the schedule
will also be impacted by other factors like the show’s producer Shawn Levy directing
Deadpool 3 or Finn Wolfhard possibly returning for the next Ghostbusters movie that is set
to film in spring 2023.
We hope that David Harbour knocks it out of the park in his final appearance as Jim Hopper
in Stranger Things season 5.
Overall, super exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
