Stranger Things Behind-The-Scenes Image Shows What Cast’s Body Doubles Look Like
Over on Reddit, a fan has posted a rareStranger Thingsbehind-the-scenesshot of what the main character’s body doubles look like, and they are practically mirror images of the show’s stars. Huddled under a tent during takes, fans can see the doubles for Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, Lucas Sinclair and Dustin Henderson, although it seems as though Eleven and Max’s stand-ins haven’t made the shot. Of course, due to many of the cast members being minors for much ofStranger Things' filming, their safety would have taken top priority, especially when tackling fight scenes.
Previously, the show’s stunt coordinator, Hiro Koda, revealed toMetrothat some of the stars like to do their own stunts, with the likes of Joe Kerry (Steve), David Harbour (Hopper), and Darce Montgomery (Billy) wanting to get in on the action themselves and tackle their own fight scenes. Koda said that Harbour, in particular, liked to initially watch a stunt professional to witness how it should be done right and then jump in to take on the action sequences himself.
Recently, Sadie Sink, who plays Max onStranger Things, revealed that due to how emotional she was at the series coming to an end, she ended upsneaking a few props from the set to keep as mementos. Some of the items that Sink pocketed were Max’s iconic Walkmans that she listened to her favorite Kate Bush songs on, shoes, and, an essential prop, Max’s skateboard. Sink will also be starring in a musical movie calledO’Dessa, whichwill premiere at the South by Southwest festival on March 8th, 2025. As forwhat will happen to the characters inStranger Thingsseason 5, some fans have an interesting theory regarding how each main character’s arc should end.
Stranger ThingsSeasons 1-4 are streaming on Netflix right now, and Season 5 is expected to debut in 2025.
