The trailer of Stranger Things 5 to the tune of Queen
The new trailer does not disappoint expectations. After the tasting in July (to the tune of Child in Time by Deep Purple), this time the images are punctuated by the epic and melancholy power of Who Wants to Live Forever of the Queen. A choice that sets the tone. The images confirm a dark, tense, almost end-of-the-world atmosphere. Hawkins is marked, the protagonists visibly prepare for the final battle against an enemy who, although vanished, looms larger than ever. There are also rumors of one possible release at the cinema for the very last episode: a grand finale.
