The meteoric rise of young stars like Finn Wolfhard, propelled by hit shows like Stranger Things and movies like IT, opened up a world of possibilities for them. While Jack Dylan Grazer, another rising talent from IT, embraced the superhero spotlight in Shazam!, not every young actor saw themselves donning capes and masks. Wolfhard once quipped that he would not mind playing the role of "Guy on Computer" in the background of a Marvel movie.

However, the tides have shifted, and Wolfhard's view on Marvel movies underwent a dramatic transformation. Initially indifferent, he now sees the superhero universe in a new light.

Once enthusiastic about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Finn Wolfhard has now had a change of heart. In a recent Vanity Fair video, Wolfhard underwent a lie detector test where he candidly addressed his previous interest in MCU involvement. Admitting that he had once aspired to join Marvel's ranks, he also confessed to no longer harboring such ambitions. When probed about his declining interest in the MCU, Wolfhard affirmed that his waning enthusiasm was indeed due to the perception that "MCU films have been mid recently."

During the test, Wolfhard humorously denied soliciting his Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire co-star Paul Rudd's help in securing a role at Marvel Studios. When asked if his disinterest stemmed from finding recent MCU films lackluster, Wolfhard confirmed, with the lie detector verifying his honesty. Despite his evolving stance, Wolfhard remains a fixture in franchise cinema, having made his mark in Ghostbusters and IT movies, as well as voicing characters in animated features.

Certainly, Wolfhard has delivered exceptional performances in Stranger Things. With the final season on the horizon, the ending remains uncertain. However, Wolfhard had some ideas in mind.

As the Stranger Things saga nears its conclusion, fans are eagerly anticipating the ultimate installment. Finn Wolfhard's portrayal of Mike Wheeler since the series' inception has been nothing short of iconic, propelling the show to unparalleled heights of success. With viewership records shattered and widespread acclaim, the series has solidified its status as a cultural phenomenon. As Season 5 marks the end of the road, speculation ran rampant about the fate of each beloved character. While rumors swirled about the show's finale, Wolfhard shared his vision for the series' conclusion.

In an interview with Access Online, Wolfhard revealed that none of the actors had glimpsed the script for the series finale. Nonetheless, he expressed his desire for a happy ending akin to the grandeur of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He had already once compared the series with Harry Potter franchise. With the cast eagerly awaiting the final episode, having only read up to the penultimate installment, anticipation is at an all-time high. His sentiments echo those of co-star Millie Bobby Brown, hinting at limited access to the script.
