“Max’s journey in volume two, I think, is about how she has to make some really brave choices,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

“And she has already, but I think she has to really step up and be braver than she’s ever been before. So, that was a nice side of her to see; taking charge of her own life, her own fate and kind of taking a stand, which she’s always been good at, but this is to the extreme. So, it’s nice to see that fiercer side of her, which we caught kind of a glimpse of through the last bit of episode four when she’s choosing to fight. So I guess just a little bit more of that.”

Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 will see Max Mayfield be “braver than she’s ever been before”
