Earlier this year, the James Gunn-produced superhero horror film Brightburn opened in theaters. The movie starred Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn, Matt Jones, and Meredith Hagner, and followed the story of a baby who arrives on Earth and is discovered and taken in by a married couple. As the boy grows older, he discovers that he has powers but doesn’t lean into the idea of using them for good. Earlier today, Gunn took to Instagram to share a photo from the school where they filmed some of the movie, and it turns out it’s the same school used in Stranger Things.
“We shot #Brightburn in the same school where they shoot #StrangerThings and we came upon this behind some lockers,” Gunn wrote.

As you can see, the photo shows Gunn posing with an entrance into the Upside Down.
Many people commented on the post:
“That’s awesome! I think Brandon and Eleven would have been an epic battle scene,” @out.for.a.walk_bitch wrote.
“CONFIRMED: The upside down will make an appearance in The Suicide Squad,” @callmequiri joked.
