What a difference a year makes.
Last season onStranger Things, Steve (Joe Keery) was a huuuuge d-bag.
Hes an action hero.
EW talked to Keery about Steves evolution and revealing the secrets to that famous coif.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Steve was kind of a douche in season 1.
This season, hes much more of a nice guy.
Did you like playing that?
I kinda see it as a continuation of this arc from season 1.
He truly falls in love for the first time.
Similarly, the catalyst for season 2 is the conflict at the part with Nancy.
Theyve both been dealing with the events of season 1 for this entire year but in a different way.
How was that to play?
The Duffers told me that came a bit late in the game.Yeah.
I mean it was great.
I didnt get to work with him the first season at all.
I saw the first season and I was like, Oh man this kid is so talented.
All the kids are.
Theyre kind of there for each other when no one else is.
It kinda pays homage to those 80s movies of having this duo you wouldnt necessarily expect.
It was just a blast to play to and also Gaten is such a talented actor.
Were you happy that the secret to Steves hair was finally revealed?
Did they have to burn those scripts out of secrecy?
My dad said, Oh yeah I remember that stuff!
So it was around.
People did use it at some point.
This is going to be the most fun ever.
Yeah, that episode was directed by Andrew Stanton.
Its really a huge collaboration because of all the monsters and stuff.
And we brought a lot of new ideas.
I wish I could do it again.
So next year hell probably get beat up.
I think its in my contract.
The fight scene wasnt too bad.
No offense to Charlie, but Dacre is like a big dude.
He could do some damage.
Well, hes a Power Ranger!Hes the Red Ranger!
He could squash me.
Lets wrap it up!
Those types of things are never clean, especially when youre that young you dont know the rules.
I think its a humbling experience for the character and I think its about putting other people before yourself.
I think thats where we do leave it.
Do you know anything about season 3?Yeah definitely.
Whenever there are like events and stuff, well all kind of pester them and ask them whats what.
Theyre very collaborative in terms of your ideas about the character.
Weve talked about it and Ive got some ideas.
