Stranger Things is set to wrap up its successful run spanning over a decade this year with the release of Stranger Things Season 5. Despite having gone through the upside-down and back begging the Duffer Brothers to make it rain, with Millie Bobby Brown dialing the clock all the way back to Season 3's Ketchup & Mustard scene with Sadie Sink as her favorite moment, fans want to abort mission. However, there seems to be one person who has been scheming all along, planting the Ketchup & Mustard magic not once but twice.

As Millie Bobby Brown revealed her favorite moment from the show on People Con, nobody could match Shawn Levy's happiness.

With a gazillion episodes and more than quadruple that amount the bloopers, with Stranger Things Season 5 hitting the screens sometime soon, fans have a lot of moments to skim through. One that they will definitely be revisiting owing to Millie Bobby Brown's confession and now Shawn Levy's Marvel twist to it is the Ketchup & Mustard song from Season 3. Levy responded to a Stranger Things' fanpage on X, expressing gratitude at having been a part of the Ketchup & Mustard magic "TWICE," a subtle reference to Deadpool & Wolverine.

Shawn Levy has served as a director and executive producer on Stranger Things, while also famously being the director of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer Deadpool & Wolverine. While it is unclear if the director had planted the song in Stranger Things with a thought, given that it was a blooper, or it was just destiny playing some blockbuster games with him, regardless, Levy has proven to be a genius, especially as this was not the first time he has initiated a Stranger Things and Deadpool & Wolverine crossover.
