During November 2020, a bombshell news arrived. The legendary Robert Englundfamous for playing Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street (Nightmare in Elm street), joined the cast of Stranger Things 4. Now that the Netflix series stepped on the accelerator with its advertising campaign, more details have been revealed about how the aforementioned actor, in a totally unexpected way, joined the story that takes place in Hawkins.
In an interview with IGNMatt and Ross Duffer, creators of stranger thingsrevealed that it was Robert Englund himself who approached the production to be considered. This process, of course, is very atypical in the cinematographic world. And it is that they are usually those responsible for a production who undertake a recruitment to find the ideal actors for each role. Of course, Englund is not any figure in the world of terror.
“The fact that he came to us in a season so deeply inspired by Nightmare and for his performance, especially in those movies, it felt like a thing of fate. It was like, ‘Okay, this is meant to be,'” Matt Duffer said.
We know that Robert Englund will play Victor Creela character we already saw in the recent trailer for Stranger Things 4. It’s about a serial killer that, during 1959, he killed his entire family (wife and two children). For this reason, he is incarcerated in the Pennhurst mental hospital. His participation will have an important weight in the story of the fourth season, since we will even see the young version of him played by actor Kevin L. Johnson.
This week was key Stranger Things 4 as far as promotion is concerned. First, Netflix released a trailer that inevitably raised expectations for the series. Terror, mystery and action will be the components that will sustain the new episodes. One of the elements that most caught the attention of the advance is the Watch which appears near the beginning. As commented by Ross Duffer, “It’s a really essential part of the mystery that our group at Hawkins is trying to solve. So I don’t want to give too much away other than to say that this watch plays a very, very important role going forward.” .”
We cannot fail to mention neighborthe new villain of Stranger Things 4. In the trailer, you hear him speak with a sinister voice and he shows off a really terrifying appearance. About this character, Ross Duffer expressed:
“We wanted a presence on set that our actors could react to, whereas in season three they reacted to a beach ball. We wanted something that we could film, and I think that makes this villain scarier, more real and tangible.” , and we’re really excited for people to see it this season.”
Remember that Stranger Things 4 will be divided into two parts. The first will be released next may 27thwhile the second will wait until 1st of July. Without a doubt, it is Netflix’s biggest card during 2022.
