After conquering the Demogorgon-infested Upside Down, Millie Bobby Brown
unleashed her inner beast and leveled up by joining the Monsterverse
in 2021. But it was her on-screen dad, Dr. Martin Brenner, portrayed by Matthew Modine, who initially lured the young heroine into the dark abyss of Stranger Things
and an even stranger destiny. Now, the tables have turned, and Modine is taking a cue from Brown’s playbook, entering the multiverse of Monsterverse to inject an extra dose of stranger star power to launch a new monstrous chapter.
In fact, Modine is joining forces with some of the most formidable Hollywood heavyweights for his next monstrous outing, and here is a rundown of the same.
