BACKGROUND GRID
Matarazzo Gatesis pushing for “Stranger Things” to pick up the pace… feeling the urgency to wrap up the final season because all the actors are growing faster than the Demogorgon’s appetite.
We caught up with the actor at LAX on Wednesday… and he’s making it clear that maintaining the specter of still being a teenager for the Netflix sci-fi series is getting trickier, especially since he’s now 21 — up from 13 when he started filming the show.
However, Gaten tells us that regardless of previous delays, such as the writers strike and the pandemic, they are now scrambling to bring fans an epic fifth and final season — and hopefully allow everyone to move on and discover new opportunities.
However, Gaten is having a lot of fun with it all… even joking with us that he hopes his character Dustin Henderson gets killed off, but only at the end of the season, just so he can maximize his screen time.
However, although it took a while for things to come to fruition, Gaten acknowledges that he feels extremely lucky and that the whole experience has changed his life.
Plot details for the final season are still a mystery, leaving fans wondering whether Stranger Things will pick up where Season 4 left off or jump forward in time… which could help keep up with the cast’s bout of development.
