Millie Bobby Brown has hinted that she would love to return as Eleven in the future Stranger Things project, and has revealed that even she doesn’t know for sure if her character survived the finale.
Talking further The discourse podcast on June 30, while promoting Enola Holmes 3, Brown, 22, was asked by host Mike DeAngelo on behalf of his seven-year-old son what really happened at the end of Stranger Things.
Her answer was tempting.
“I mean, honestly, I don’t even know. I mean, objectively, she looks like she’s dead, but then there’s this ending that potentially opens the door and maybe she’s smarter than everyone thinks and she got out. Me and the Duffer brothers are the only ones who know the real truth.”
When DeAngelo pressed her to imagine a hypothetical return, what might Eleven look like at 30?, Brown lit up.
“Oh, I’d love to. I’m not done with El. I love her so much. I was very happy at the end, but it was a tough pill to swallow. I’d love to see what she could do in her 30s. I’d be interested to see that. I hope everyone else would be, but that’s if she’s alive.”
The comments add fresh fuel to fan speculation about the character’s fate.
Netflix’s Tudum previously noted that creators Matt and Ross Duffer “have left it up to viewers to decide what they think is going to happen to Eleven,” which, combined with Brown’s teasing, suggests the door has been deliberately ajar.
