Watch Jamie Campbell Bower Transform into Vecna in Under 40 Seconds

Ever wanted to see Vecna scrolling on his phone or sipping Starbucks? Now’s your chance.

This 40-second time-lapse condenses hours of intense work into a quick behind-the-scenes peek. And yes — that’s really Jamie Campbell Bower in the full-body suit. No stand-ins. No doubles. Just Vecna, doing his morning routine.

Searching for more? Go deeper into the making of Vecna in this video.

It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling in the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time — and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat known as Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.

Stranger Things Season 4 is streaming now, only on Netflix.
