Overview

- The trailer teases new Upside Down threats, including pumpkin‑headed Demogorgon variants and a burrowing creature moving beneath the snow.
- Press descriptions point to a single stealthy monster, while trailer footage appears to show multiple entities, a contrast not yet clarified.
- The recast voice lineup features Brett Gipson as Hopper, Luca Diaz as Mike, Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Elisha Williams as Lucas, Ben Plessala as Will, and Jolie Hoang‑Rappaport as Max.
