We get to do that very often due to the way that the Duffers write. I was saying this to the Duffers: In an ideal world, I want a scene with every single person in the cast because one of the most fun things about this show is getting to see the different dynamics, falling in love with all of these characters and then getting to see how they interact together and how they’ve grown. Is there anything you’re excited to explore that you’ve already built with Nancy or that you want to see before Stranger Things ends? That’s been a lot of her journey: just proving to herself over and over again how strong she is. Whenever you get out of your comfort zone, you prove to yourself that you’re bigger and braver than you ever thought you were. That has forced her to be brave and show herself that she can do things that maybe she didn’t know that she could before. That really instilled confidence in her and made her grow up.

She’s just progressively learned how to follow that voice and that instinct.

She’s not only intelligent - like, book smart - she really can piece things together. She’s always had a really strong intuition and is very in touch with her gut feelings. So how has it been to really dig into her as this fearless leader? At this point, she’s stopping the end of the world. Nancy has changed so much since wearing that ring back in Season 1. I was like, “Oh, born in February, OK.” But it doesn’t really come up, when her birthday is, so it’s a bit up in the air. There’s a Libra justice thing too in her - maybe an Aquarian curiosity? I initially tagged her as an Aquarius, partially because in Season 1, she was wearing this amethyst ring. I’m a Capricorn, so I can definitely see that in her a bit. Do you have any ideas about Nancy’s chart? I think we all thought, “Oh, people would enjoy this duo.” The internet is a very funny place, so there’s a lot of very interesting takes on things going on.Īstrology is another big internet meme topic. Is the thread just you and Maya, or is it all four of you, including Charlie and Joe?Īll four. We send each other memes of things regarding that ship, which is funny. We actually have a text thread that talks a bit. Right? I don’t know if the Duffers thought that as much or anything. It’s impossible for viewers not to notice how good a duo Robin and Nancy - aka RoNance - are.

So, yeah, I think Sigourney is definitely one of the references the Duffers kept throwing at Nancy. But then you throw in some military gear on top of that. At this point, I’ve gone through so many years of the ’80s that there’s little bits and pieces of everything.

Were there any specific actors, movies or TV shows that inspired Nancy’s look this season? I feel like most of the Stranger Things women have ’80s pop cultural touchstones this season. Dyer tells Tudum that Nancy’s ready for what’s next - and, yes, she knows you have questions about that Steve-Nancy-Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) love triangle. Nancy is rightly alarmed, particularly after witnessing Vecna’s master plan during a battle of wills in the Upside Down. Season 4 ends with Nancy, along with many of the series’ other heroes, realizing that the Upside Down has started to infect their reality at home in Hawkins. The arc is poised to continue in Stranger Things Season 5 in a big way. “It’s such a transformation and such an arc that she’s had.” “I’m not a big gun person, but I think what that scene represents for Nancy is just how she’s come from Season 1, and now she’s so incredibly brave and take-charge,” Dyer says. Despite the evil vine setback, she and her friends still manage to injure Vecna, stuffing him with a couple of rounds of buckshot and setting him on fire. “When you start to do things that big, you do catch yourself, like, ‘Wow, this is my job,’” Dyer says with an air of astonishment. Just when Nancy, Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) and Robin Buckley (Maya Hawke) think they’re on the cusp of completing their deadly mission, Vecna slams the trio into the decaying walls of the Creel House. The episode finds Dyer’s Nancy Wheeler conducting an expedition to kill Vecna - the interdimensional villain (played by Jamie Campbell Bower) behind the constant horror plaguing the formerly sleepy town of Hawkins - in the Upside Down. “We are choking for quite a while, aren’t we? It’s a pretty, well, painful experience, I would imagine,” Stranger Things star Natalia Dyer says over the phone to Tudum with a chuckle, harkening back to one of the most harrowing moments from the Season 4 finale. Warning: This story contains spoilers from Stranger Things Season 4, Volumes 1 and 2.
