Ergo, Molly Parker, so memorable from her work on “House of Cards” and “Deadwood,” would make her ideal to embody Sadie Sink as an adult both of them have an inner core of strength that no amount of trauma can shake. Molly Parker as Max MayfieldĪs the party’s newest member, tomboy Max had plenty of spunk, despite her bullying step-brother and otherwise difficult family life. We expect he’s moved to one of the big cities, perhaps to the West Coast where he can wear his shirts unbuttoned to his heart’s content. Billy is pretty much the biggest bully currently in Hawkins, and it remains to be seen if he’ll mellow out with age. The two actors have more than a passing resemblance, and Lowe has proven to have a pretty healthy sense of humor when mocking his past.

Elmo’s Fire” inspired new guy Billy in “Stranger Things.” Now that we’re fast-forwarding 30 years, it’s come full circle. This one is a bit of a no-brainer since Rob Lowe’s character Billy in “St. Plus, Law’s immense talents as an actor would be essential to making whatever weird drama being experienced by the grown-up Hawkins kids feel believable. But when you bring in the striking resemblance between Schnapp and Law’s son Rafferty, your doubts will fade away. Looking at the photo above, you might be skeptical that Will would grow up to resemble Jude Law. But he and Caleb McLaughlin also share a grounded quality, as seen in Hill’s work on both “The West Wing” and “Psych” - Hill can be trusted to be the voice of reason when things go crazy, which is something this group very much needs. Dule Hill as Lucas Sinclairįrankly, we want to see this just because Dule Hill is great and he should work way more often. The future “Saturday Night Live” host and breakout comedy star of 2017 has plenty on her plate to keep her busy, but even just one fun cameo would be enough to please fans of Season 2’s biggest breakout character. Tiffany Haddish as Erica SinclairĮrica is the undisputed queen of Hawkins, Indiana, so there’s no doubt that she’d grow up to be the queen of all our hearts. He has just enough charisma to be a leader, but doesn’t come off as slick. Who better to turn to for Mike than Lloyd Dobler himself? John Cusack’s most iconic role embodies Mike grown up: boy next door, slightly neurotic, a hopeless romantic, and just a really solid guy. Cox knows a fair amount about surviving horrific situations - she made it through not one but three “Scream” movies, after all - so she’d be more than up to the challenge. And who better to embody that as an adult than Courteney Cox, who has proven her badassery for decades, while also demonstrating strong comedy chops and solid acting talent. We quickly learned that in Season 1 that to underestimate Nancy was to make a huge mistake. Bowen has been impressive as the singer-songwriter Scarlett on “Nashville,” and has just enough steel in her to make her a believable Wheeler.
After all, Holly was thisclose to the Demogorgon as he was trying to come through the wall. The youngest Wheeler sibling hasn’t had that much screen time, but knowing that family, she will no doubt be sharp, ballsy, and brave. The actor could also add his musical skills to the mix, and we could see him being a really cool dad who cosplays with his kids at cons. Jack Black has the right amount of cheekiness, exuberance, and smarts necessary to play the grown-up geek. Perhaps the two biggest hallmarks of Dustin are his curly locks and impudent personality, and a perm can take care of the former.
In “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” Amalric played a character who could only move one eye for most of the film, so he’s certainly qualified. That’s a specific subset of tormented emotions that requires a certain physicality.
So much of Jonathan is wrapped up in anguish: dealing with the disappearance and transformation of his kid brother, reckoning with the aftermath of his parents’ separation, pining after the pretty girl from afar.
