If there were to be a Stranger Things Cinematic Universe, would Millie Bobby Brown be the Iron Man equivalent

3 Reasons Millie Bobby Brown Can Be the &#8216;Iron Man&#8217; of the &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Cinematic Universe

“We happen to live in a Golden Age of Television.” With the lines between TV and
cinema blurring by the nanosecond, this quote by The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon
couldn’t be any truer. And, this phenomenon will only expand now that cinematic
universes with unending narratives are slowly becoming the norm. In the same
vein, with whispers about a Stranger Things Cinematic Universe, one wonders
about the fate of this world’s resident superhero, Millie Bobby Brown.



In an interview with Variety, Shawn Levy, executive producer and director of the
show, hinted
[https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/stranger-things-deadpool-crossover-ryan-reynolds-shawn-levy-1235370102/],
“Yes, we are building out the STCU.” By his own admission, Levy is “learning a
lot about how to manage a universe” from shadowing Marvel’s chief creative
officer, Kevin Feige. The news of the STCU comes at a great time with Netflix’s
flagship show ending with season 5. It would have been a shame to see the world
intricately crafted by The Duffer Brothers go to waste.

Granted, Marvel had the first mover advantage, swiftly followed by DCEU, but
today there are already 9 other cinematic universes brewing. If we add Stranger
Things to the list, we might just get our Never-Ending Story set in
Hawkins/Upside Down, with Eleven leading the pack. Does that mean Millie Bobby
Brown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/] might be the Iron Man
of this world? Let us find out.


PARALLELS BETWEEN MILLIE BOBBY BROWN AS ELEVEN AND IRON MAN

While their abilities might place Eleven and Tony Stark on opposite sides of the
spectrum, their hero’s journey brings them closer. The 2008 Iron Man set the
base for a world with Avengers right up till the end of Marvel’s Phase 3.
Captain America might be the First Avenger, but Iron Man was the first hero.

Similarly, Eleven is our introduction to the supernatural in Stranger Things’
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] quaint town of Hawkins. In this
case, Vecna/Henry might be 001, but Eleven is our original superhero.
Additionally, both characters were held captive against their will at some point
in their life. While the Ten Rings captured Tony Stark in Afghanistan for his
superior weaponry, Eleven was a test subject at Hawkins Lab under Dr. Brenner.

Both of their ultimate escapes are crucial turning points that contribute to
their origin stories. Last but not least, the two leads have had rather murky
pasts pertaining to their parents. While Martin Brenner

took Eleven away from her mother for experiments, Tony lost his parents to a
HYDRA assassination.
