“They’re not really the same, so it definitely felt like I was building something new,” he added of Mr. Whatsit, who earns children’s trust through his kind and loving demeanor.
The new season follows Henry’s pursuit of Holly and her classmates, twelve of whom he successfully kidnaps and turns upside down.
This meant that Bower worked a lot with children this season.

In another interview with Term, the actor revealed that creators Matt and Ross Duffer will be Mr. Whatsit developed after season 4 ended.
“Towards the end of filming the Henry portion of season four, Matt and Ross [Duffer] said, ‘This was great. We always wanted to bring you back as Vecna, but now we feel like we have to bring you back more as yourself.” and I just thought, ‘Cool. Sounds great. Whatever you guys want,’” Bower recalled.
“So as far as the storyline goes, none of it was pitched to me, and I think it was… something that developed in the intervening time,” he added.
