Millie Bobby Brown on final table read, blackmailing Duffer Brothers

When asked by late-night host Fallon about the last episode, Millie stated, "I didn't really know how I was going to react, and then right before the last table read, we didn't know what was going to happen. Nobody knew. I actually did know. I like to blackmail the directors. I have high school pictures of them that I will say I will release this if you don't tell me. But I snuck into the writer's room, and I saw this really big whiteboard with all the endings. And I was just like [excited]... so much to process. She continued, "But the night before the cold read, no one knew anything, and Noah and I made... there's 30 cast members on the show; it's such a big cast. We made 30 cast bracelets for everyone with charms that describe their personalities. When we went in, we gave them to everyone, and it was just a really wholesome day. We didn't sit on a table; we sat on couches and cried for two hours straight." ALSO READ: Stranger Things Star Millie Bobby Brown Shares Update To Legal Name; Find Out Official Change

Millie Bobby Brown on fan theories and Will's superpower

The actress, who has kept Stranger Things secrets for nearly a decade, also reacted to fan theories about what's going to happen in the show. One such theory was that Eleven helped the Demogorgon take Will to the Upside Down in Season 1. Millie exclaimed, "I've actually never heard that one. Did that happen? I can't believe people can remember that far. I can't confirm or deny it."

Another theory about Vecna is not being the main villain but being controlled by Mind Flayer, got a noncommittal "hmmm," as the actress said it was a popular theory, as was the theory about the entire series being a game of Dungeons and Dragons the Party are playing. She nearly burst out laughing at the theory that Karen Wheeler is Vecna's little sister and said, "This is hilarious! Reacting to the final theory that Eleven and Will are twins who were separated at birth, the actress corrected Fallon and stated, "Noah and Millie were separated at birth." She also jokingly said about her reaction to finding out that Will had powers, "I was fuming. Are you joking? We're giving out powers willy-nilly. No, I was really happy when we did the read-through I couldn't believe it. As I was looking at him, 'We get to be superheroes together.'" Millie added that she wasn't worried about Will's fate, but she "would have died had [Will] died" on the show.
