Millie Bobby Brown answers if Eleven created the Upside Down

June 18, 2022

At the end of season 4 volume 1, we find out that it was Eleven who sent One to the Upside Down where he is transformed into Vecna. But one of the major questions we have is if Eleven also created the Upside Down.

In a recent interview with Variety, Millie talked about major plot developments in season 4. She was asked if Duffers have told her that Eleven created the Upside Down in the scene with Jamie’s character at the end. The actress replied,

“They did tell me. She does. She opens the rift.”

Obviously, this was a big reveal for volume 2 as we still don’t know the origins of the Upside Down. Upon asking if the Upside Down was already there when she opened it, or did it not exist before she opened it, Millie said,

“This is too big of a debate for me to answer. I’m so worried. I think — no, no, no. I think that the alternate universe was always there. That is always going to be under Hawkins. I just think she has access to it. I don’t think that she created the Upside Down. No, I think that it was always there, I think she just created a gate to it which no one could before.”
