by Season 5 of Stranger Things is quite a ways off, so it’s no surprise that Millie Bobby Brown hasn’t heard much about the plot of the upcoming series.
“Probably when I shoot, I won’t even know how it’s going to end,” he tells Total Film while discussing Enola Holmes 2, which is featured on the cover of the new issue of Total Film magazine. (opens in new tab). “I know as much as you do. I’m really ignorant. And they don’t want to tell me either. I have a huge mouth.”
When Total Film points out that she’s said in the past that she wanted Eleven and Mike to find happiness together, Brown interrupts: “I say things like that, but then I also said I want her to die. I really don’t know. And also, it’s not my choice. I say all this really under my breath, and then people take it and print it. And I’m like, no, no, no – I said it as a joke, that I wanted her to marry and work on a goal . That was a joke. But maybe it’s not a joke?”
The actress adds that she would love to write an episode. “I would love to be the writer! I would make it more of a musical,” she says. “But, you know, they don’t trust it in my hands, which they should [laughs]. Trust me: I can do the Stranger Things finale and it would be great. I think it should be like It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Have you ever seen the musical episode? It should end like this – a musical episode.”
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season Thirteen ended with Rob McElhenney’s Mac coming out as gay to his father through prom. It’s arguably the show’s most popular episode to date, breaking away from the usual sitcom diversions to tell a deeply moving story with no dialogue.
Total Film also asks if Brown would appear in a Stranger Things spin-off – the show is set to end with season 5, although creators The Duffer Brothers have hinted that spin-offs could be coming in the future.
“I’m so focused on Enola [Holmes]”, says. “Stranger Things – we saw it, we love it, we have big hearts. But let’s make more Enolas. Let’s put it on Netflix. But other than that, I’d love to see another bald 10-year-old get that chance. I would help her navigate it.”
You can read more from Brown in the new issue of Total Film when it hits newsstands (opens in new tab) (and digital devices) this Thursday, October 13th. She talks at length about Enola Holmes 2 alongside her co-star Henry Cavill.
