Stranger Things stars talk about Vecna, the new terrifying monster from season 4 of the Netflix series

Stranger Things 4/Netflix

The return of Stranger Things is getting closer and closer. The first half of season 4 of the beloved Netflix series will arrive on the streaming service at the end of the month, on May 27, thus ending the wait of almost three years since the debut of season 3. The trailer for the fourth season has offered fans a first taste of what’s to come in the next few episodes, not only showing us the young and adventurous residents of Hawkins, Indiana but also revealing a terrifying new villain. We’ve seen the most human creature of the Upside Down so far, a monster known only as Vecna.

Vecna’s design is terrifying and it looks like the creature’s presence on the screen will be just as chilling! At the premiere of Stranger Things 4, Variety talked about the supervillain with several of the show’s cast members, including David Harbor: “Vecna ​​is a psychological horror that I don’t think we’ve really ever seen. The Upside Down is a wild west where there are creatures running around, and there is violence, but we have never seen something as psychologically evil as this. It’s exciting because he’s a real supervillain that we need in the show. “

Unfortunately, Jim Hopper fans will be disappointed to learn that Hawkins’ heroic sheriff has nothing to do with the Vecna ​​on screen. At least not yet. “I don’t deal with him directly, my plot is slightly different, but there is a Demogorgon in a Russian prison that I have to deal with. It’s pretty terrifying too, ”David Harbor revealed.

Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin in Stranger Things, spoke of the horror that the monster Vecna ​​brings to the series. According to the young actor, this is an entirely different type of villain from the evils Hawkins has faced in the past. “The craziest thing is how new and fresh the villain looks, compared to what we’ve had before. It brings a whole new vibe to how we deal with our villains in Stranger Things and how we will continue to do so in the future. “
