Stranger Things 5: Which Actors Pushed Stunts the Furthest | Collider BTS

Описание: Go behind the scenes of Netflix’s Stranger Things Season 5 with supervising stunt coordinator and second unit director Hito Koda and stunt coordinator Janelle Kaufmann. In this exclusive Collider interview, the duo breaks down how some of the show’s biggest and most demanding action sequences were designed, rehearsed, and safely pulled off.

Koda and Kaufmann walk through the enormous Episode 1 tree sequence, the painstaking wire work required for levitation scenes, and the technical challenge of staging a massive Demogorgon-filled oner with action happening in every layer of the frame. They also explain why slower, controlled wire gags can be harder than fast, aggressive stunts, and how extensive previs helped translate the Duffer Brothers’ vision into something shootable.

Kaufmann also discusses the craft of doubling Maya Hawke, from studying her movement and walk to ensuring every stunt feels authentically “Robin,” not like a generic action beat. The conversation touches on working with cast members like David Harbour, Joe Keery, Millie Bobby Brown, and Jamie Campbell Bower, all of whom are eager to get hands-on with the action.

It’s a detailed look at the planning, pressure, and creativity behind Stranger Things Season 5’s most ambitious stunt work.
