‘Stranger Things’ Star Finn Wolfhard Just Exposed The Biggest Problem With Millie Bobby Brown’s Career
One of the biggest gifts that the Stranger Things saga brought to fans was arguably the star-studded cast. This includes the likes of tremendous talents like Finn Wolfhard and Millie Bobby Brown, among others. And now the show is about to come to a conclusion after nearly a decade, all of them will have to move and find other projects to line up in their resume.
Almost the entire lead cast of the horror series has led a fair career so far, even beyond Stranger Things itself. But a closer look at Bobby Brown’s career, in particular, reveals that she may be lagging behind, and Wolfhard just exposed the reason behind the same while he was talking about his own career choices: lack of original pieces.
Finn Wolfhard’s confession spills a bitter truth about his Stranger Things co-star’s career
Finn Wolfhard, the actor who portrayed Mike Wheeler for four seasons spread across six years that the series ran for (so far), recently appeared in an interview with Discussing Film to discuss his career choices. During the same time, he was asked how important it is for him to keep a voice in the Indie market.
To this, Wolfhard candidly talked about the importance of original films irrespective of the risks they carry. He admitted that he would always be willing to choose to take risks and star in such projects — the way he did in his recent flick, The Legend of Ochi — saying:
I think that’s kind of what speaks to me the most, doing stuff I would want to watch as a fan and an audience member. You want to create original stories because they feel more authentic, they make you feel — I think, as an audience member — more excited to watch something.
Continuing, he also shared what exactly pulls him into taking on such risks and working on original projects, nonetheless, saying,
Every single person has a unique voice and every single person has a story. Whenever you get a chance to make a movie like this [The Legend of Ochi], it’s definitely, like, a no-brainer, for sure.
That said, putting all the movies he has starred in throughout his 13-year-long career in perspective, Wolfhard has worked on multiple original flicks so far. Not to mention, he has been praised for his performance in pretty much all of them, like he was in Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), for one to count. But that’s exactly what his co-star seems to be lacking in her career.
Millie Bobby Brown lacks original movies in her career
Millie Bobby Brown has unarguably given a commendable performance when she played the character of Eleven in the Stranger Things lore and earned numerous major award nominations for the same. But outside of that, her acting career has been rather lackluster, and her co-star’s recent confession is making it clear that it’s because of the lack of original movies.
As fans must have noticed, even though Brown has starred in numerous projects over the years since her acting career kickstarted back in 2013, very few of them have been original projects. Except for her Enola Holmes film series and Damsel (2024), there don’t seem to be many original movies she has starred in outside of her horror series.
The reason behind the same could be either that she hasn’t been offered all that many acceptable original projects, or she simply isn’t all that keen on taking risks to star in such pieces. Plus, not all of the original movies she has starred in have been all that successful either, like how Netflix’s Damsel was mostly critically panned by fans and critics worldwide.
Not to mention, her heavy association with Netflix has led to a perception of her being a ‘Netflix star’, thus potentially limiting her ability to be known for other diverse roles and stories. That being said, this seems to be, perhaps, the biggest problem with the A-lister’s acting career that she needs to work on before it catches up to haunt her like typecast roles haunt sitcom stars.
