Antonio Ferme editorA hero’s a hero, but everyone loves a great villain.In the case of the upcoming fourth season of “Stranger Things,” fans will be introduced to Vecna — a ghoulish, powerful lich that slithers out of the Upside Down to wreak havoc on Hawkins.“Vecna makes a Demogorgon look cuddly,” executive producer and director Shawn Levy told Variety on Saturday night at the worldwide premiere of “Stranger Things 4” in Brooklyn, N.Y.David Harbour, who stars as Hawkins police chief Jim Hopper, teased how Vecna embodies a new horror element that “Stranger Things” viewers haven’t seen before.“Vecna is a psychological horror that I don’t think we’ve really seen,” Harbour told Variety. “The Upside Down has been this wild west world where there are creatures running around, there’s violence, but we’ve never seen something as calculatedly psychologically evil as this.
That’s exciting because he is a true big bad that we’ve needed in the series.” The third season, which was released nearly three years ago, left off with Hopper seemingly being killed by sacrificing himself to close the gate to the Upside Down.
Hopper is far from dead, however, and is being held at an icy gulag in Russia.“In a way, a piece of him does die when this happens,” Harbour said. “[Hopper] needed to shed these layers that had been growing on him, this kind of gunk that prevented him from being the man that could battle this evil in the Upside Down.”He continued, “I don’t directly deal with [Vecna], my storyline’s a little different, but there’s a Demogorgon in a Russian prison that I got to deal with.
It’s pretty terrifying.”Paying homage to the first season of “Stranger Things” and the ‘80s horror films that inspired it, Vecna was brought to life.
