Ethan Hawke'S Dream: Sharing The Screen With Daughter Maya

Father-Daughter Duo: A Cinematic Dream

Ethan Hawke is buzzing with excitement at the thought of acting alongside his daughter, Maya Hawke. Known for her breakout role as Robin Buckley in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, Maya has already made a name for herself. Now, her father is eager to join forces with her on the big screen.

At the Variety's Sundance Studio, Ethan shared his aspirations during a chat about their work on the 2023 indie film, Wildcat. This biographical drama, which he directed, revolves around the life of writer Flannery O’Connor. Despite being behind the lens for this project, Ethan expressed his enthusiasm for stepping in front of the camera with Maya someday.

“Heck yeah, are you kidding me?” Ethan exclaimed when asked about acting alongside his daughter. “I want to be with the star of ‘Stranger Things’…”

Guidance and Moving Forward

With Stranger Things wrapping up after its fifth and final season, Ethan had some fatherly advice for Maya. “Time to move on. You got to do it, and move on,” he advised, encouraging her to embrace new opportunities and not dwell on the past.

Ethan himself is quite busy, with a slate of exciting projects lined up for 2025. From the theatrical drama Blue Moon to the horror sequel Black Phone 2, he's adding more iconic roles to his impressive career. His small screen ventures include starring in the crime dramedy The Lowdown and the historical drama The American Revolution.

Award-Winning Trajectory

Ethan's career continues to soar, as he's recently been nominated for his fifth Oscar, marking his first nomination in the lead actor category for Blue Moon. The Emmy-winning actor is not only a powerhouse in Hollywood but also a proud father ready to share the spotlight with his talented daughter.

The anticipation of a future project with Maya is palpable, and fans are eagerly waiting to see this dynamic duo light up the screen together.
