Jimmy Fallon Celebrates the Upcoming &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Finale With a Hilarious Swipe At Cast Age Issue

Fans have been obsessed with Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] since the show first arrived on
Netflix. But the penultimate season undoubtedly left a major impact on viewers.
The war that season 4 started has become the biggest debate on the internet as
everyone wants to know what happens next. Fans are decoding updates from the
creators and guessing what will happen to their favorite characters.

Now joining in the conversations, Jimmy Fallon recently celebrated the upcoming
season with a hilarious dig at the cast and the looming age issue on  Stranger
Things Season 5.


JIMMY FALLON SHOWS SUPPORT TO STRANGER THINGS CAST 

The Tonight Show’s X, formerly Twitter account, recently dropped a video
featuring Jimmy Fallon. The clip opened with the host stating that the fifth and
final season of Stranger Things was in the works and that producers had decided
not to use AI to “de-age actors”. “They can still pass off as kids,” said the
comedian as he looked at the actors of the trending show, the majority of whom
had already turned twenty or were on the brink of it.

The video then showed the trailer that the show created that mocked the issue
that has been pressing the minds of creators

Instead of the real cast, it depicted some veteran actors and public figures
named as characters. “Yeah, we should use that de-aging thing,” said the speaker
in the end. The 49-year-old rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that the actors
had grown so much old while waiting for the last season.

The host and his team clearly pushed back at haters who have been making this
thing bigger than it should be. While Fallon tried his best to convince fans,
the executive producer, Shawn Levy, also affirmed fans about the same in an
interview.


SHAWN LEVY HAD THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR THE CAST’S AGING CONCERNS

In an interview with Variety last month, Shawn Levy addressed the growing age of
actors while the show remains halted. He said people around the globe have
watched these kids growing up all these years. “So we’re going to use all the
all the tools available to us,” stated the Canadian director. According to him,
growing was a natural part of human life that  and the cast members have changed
too.

The Oscar-nominated creator then admitted this might not be helpful for the
story, but they cannot reverse it. All they can do was cover it with makeup and
costumes. Fans have seen the prosthetics department’s mastery  in the past
seasons, so they should show faith in the team working behind the stage. He also
revealed the cast members were quite excited to get back on the sets and start
the shooting.
