5 Dec
Summary
- Actor Noah Schnapp experienced facial blood vessel damage while filming.
- Schnapp's intense screaming scene for Stranger Things was cut short.
- The actor learned his injury is common for women in labor.
Noah Schnapp, known for his role in Stranger Things, recently revealed a physically taxing filming experience for the show's latest season. While shooting a scene requiring intense screaming, the young actor inadvertently ruptured blood vessels throughout his face and body. This startling event occurred during the filming of a key twist for Season 5, Volume 1, which confirmed Will Byers possesses supernatural abilities.
Despite the significant effort and physical toll, the impactful three-second scene featuring Schnapp's distress was ultimately edited down. This led the actor to humorously question the extended filming duration for such a brief on-screen moment. His immediate concern prompted a call to a doctor, who reassured him that the injury, though alarming, is a common occurrence in strenuous physical exertion.
The revelation comes as the series delves deeper into Will Byers' powers, linking him to Vecna and the Upside Down. Fans anticipate Will and Eleven may unite their abilities in the upcoming episodes to confront the antagonist's malevolent plans. The final season's concluding episodes are slated for release on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.
