During the discussion, Wolfhard opened up about his character Mike Wheeler’s “special” relationship with his older sister, Nancy Wheeler, played by Dyer, in the final season of Stranger things.
He said, “There’s something really special about Mike and Nancy’s relationship. Even going back to the audition of the show, the very first thing I ever auditioned for, like the first scene I ever auditioned for, was Mike talking to Nancy and asking her to keep this a secret — basically that I have Eleven.” (sic)
The Ghostbusters: Afterlife star added, “And so that’s in the DNA of the character that Nancy, no matter what, always knows what’s going on. And they’re both kind of the same to each other. [in their respective friend groups]. I feel like Nancy is the Mike of her friend group. I think there is a leadership thing.”
Wolfhard further joked, “She’s way better with a gun,” then proudly proclaimed, “Hey everyone, watch out! … I got a gun this season. That’s all I’ll say.”
It is pertinent to mention that the first four episodes of Stranger things were released on Netflix on November 26, while three new episodes will be released on December 25, followed by the series finale on December 31, 2025.
