Mike Wheeler, as the Stranger things character, put forward a theory about Eleven’s fate, but Sadie Sink, who plays Max Mayfield, doesn’t believe it.
“I think she’s dead, I don’t know,” she says as she appears The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
She continues, “I think Mike’s story is just one last story. Then they say goodbye to childhood, but that’s just one last story. That’s it. I think it’s just a matter of coping. I think it’s stronger, right? Yes.”
But she adds, “Well, that’s my interpretation.”
Like Eleven. Vecna’s fate was also in question before his ending in the series. Ross Duffer, a co-creator, weighs in on Tudum, saying they’ve considered the idea of giving him a redemption arc.
“We discussed with the writers’ room whether he could have a Billy [Dacre Montgomery] moment when he turns against the Mind Flayer [in a] Darth Vader-like situation,” he says.
However, they ultimately scrapped the idea. “But the more we talked about it with the writers and with Jamie [Campbell Bower]he has gone so far at this point to get here, he needs to justify everything he has done. And the only way to justify that is to say, ‘I chose this, and I still believe in this.'”
Stranger things is streaming on Netflix.
