If you don't want it spoiled, stop right here. Jamie Campbell Bower was such a convincing villain in his Vecna suit — which took seven hours to put on in the makeup chair — that he actually made
He explained that Brown was put in a position where she was tied up before meeting Vecna for the first time, leading to an "electric" response. "I walked up to her [as Vecna] and she burst into tears. She wouldn't look at me and she was visibly just disgusted by the whole thing," Bower said.
Stranger Things Star Millie Bobby Brown Cried the First Time She Saw Vecna. One of the side effects of using practical creature effects?
However, Bower found Brown's fear of Vecna somewhat amusing and mentioned that he was talking to her inside his mind saying, “No, Jamie's dead. It's just Vecna.” Brown ends it by saying the fear was genuine and that she didn't have to act because she was actually terrified.
I walked up to her [as Vecna] and she burst into tears." He went on, "She wouldn't look at me and she was visibly just disgusted by the whole thing." However, it seems the tears were resolved fairly quickly once Millie realised it was indeed Jamie hidden underneath all that Vecna makeup.
Jamie Campbell Bower wore a costume and prosthetics to transform into Vecna in "Stranger Things."
The costars are just friends and purely platonic! In fact, Millie is currently dating someone else, Jake Bongiovi, and Noah is their self-proclaimed third wheel, even attending a Harry Styles concert together with them in June 2022 and shared the experience on Instagram.
Yeah, Bower says Brown was crying real tears during that scene. “She was terrified and freaked out. And Caleb [Heymann], our DP, was very smart and saw that she was having this reaction in the beginning of rehearsal and decided to shoot her first. It's so pure and beautiful,” Bower said.
One Steals Eleven's Powers
Just as Henry could see into the minds of others, from the Upside Down Vecna can still see into people. The vines of the dark dimension, which have made their way to the real world, connect directly into his body.
He is terrifying because he has access to secrets and the guilt that accompanies those secrets. Vecna's use of his victims' guilty conscious to terrorize his prey is an obvious tool in his arsenal.
While intending to get his revenge on Eleven and Brenner, Vecna also goes after victims who have dealt with traumatizing experiences in the past (reminiscent of his childhood and his time at the Hawkins lab).
He didn't name himself Vecna, the kids did. They named him after a DnD character who's a wizard, since Vecna's curse sounds like something a dark wizard would do.
"Vecna seems to be actually intrigued by Nancy being able to figure him out, to be able to get this close to the truth... I think this is more Vecna's narcissistic traits that pull him to Nancy, why he wants to give her this information."
In his twisted mind, Vecna believes that he his helping the world by wiping out humans, as a "predator, but for good." When Vecna asks for El to join him, it's because he also sees her as a predator, "better" than humans. He offers her his path as a sort of freedom, as they reshaped the world in their image.
While his usual strategy is to mimic his victims' self-deprecating thoughts (again, a very real psychological phenomenon), this time he is telling Nancy his plans and then releasing her so she can inform everyone—including Eleven—that the end is near, with the intention of demoralising and disempowering them.
Following Eleven's resistance, Vecna sought after Eleven's 'power', which he identified as "a means to open [his] own doors" (gates).
Curiously, he also seems obsessed with time, projecting strange visions into his victims' minds—including of the grandfather clock from his home in the Creel House. Vecna's obsession with time appears to be linked to his hatred of humanity.
At his empire's height, Vecna was betrayed and destroyed by his most trusted lieutenant, a vampire called Kas the Bloody-Handed, using a magical sword that Vecna himself had crafted for him, now known as the Sword of Kas.
Eleven Was Taught To Access Her Powers Using Lessons Learned From Vecna. Eleven was raised at Hawkins Lab, one of several children granted powers as a result of Dr. Brenner's twisted experiments.
Vecna was revealed to be the creator of the Upside Down, and he has some truly dangerous revenge plans against Hawkins and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown).
During the match, Eleven was able to overpower Vecna, using her psychic abilities to keep him pinned to the Rainbow Room wall as his body disintegrated. But before he could disintegrate completely, she unintentionally opened a gate to the Upside Down behind him, which Vecna then fell through.
In the final episode of Stranger Things 4 Volume 1, it's revealed that Vecna isn't native to the Upside Down, but was banished there by Eleven after he gruesomely massacred the Hawkins National Lab.
Before her romance with the Pennington School alum, Brown was linked to singer Jacob Sartorius. Us Weekly exclusively revealed in January 2018 that the actress, then 13, had been spending a lot of time with the “Chapstick” crooner.
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have epitomized modern young love since the summer of 2021—and now, after almost two years together, they are officially engaged.
Answer: Well, I'd say a few years ago I met a young girl, her name was Olivia Hope LoRusso. She had been diagnosed with cancer and I got friends with her for a while. We then became best friends and we spoke every day. And then she sadly passed away.
