Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn and Joe Keery have an idea for how Eddie could return
“Me and Joe Keery were discussing ways in which I could kind of [come back]… Like if there could be some kind of room for something like that, something a bit supernatural…”
Who had the saddest death in Stranger Things 4 and why was it, Eddie Munson? (Max doesn’t count, she’s technically still alive.)
Despite the popular theory that is right now, it tragically appears that Eddie’s awful death will endure. Eddie’s time has “officially” come to an end, according to both the Duffer brothers and Joseph Quinn. He carried out his duties and died a hero.
In an interview with Radio Times, however, Joe made it clear that he’d be 100% down to coming back should the plot of season 5 somehow call for his return, saying: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have half an eye on maybe trying to crowbar my way back in!”
And, just in case they do have any plans up their sleeves for season 5, Joe revealed that he and co-star Joe Keery have been discussing ways in which Eddie could possibly return to Hawkins.
“Me and Joe Keery were discussing ways in which I could kind of [come back]… maybe I’d be like a figment of Gaten’s imagination or something,” he said. “Like if there could be some kind of room for something like that, something a bit supernatural.”
He continued: “But my suspicion is that Eddie has done what he needed to do for the Brothers.”
Honest to God, it might kind of work. Due to Dustin’s sorrow over Eddie’s passing and the fact that Vecna is still at large, he may now be a target. Eddie might definitely show up if Dustin finds himself in a trance, similar to when Billy and Barb were respectively shown to Max and Nancy in their Vecna visions.
Another, much more complicated theory put out by fans explains how Eddie might appear in season 5 as well. And it’s all because of a certain incident in season 4, episode 1, where Mike makes a reference to Kas from Dungeons & Dragons.
Fans are theorising that, because we don’t know what happened to Eddie’s body (it appears as though Dustin, Steve, Nancy, and Robin left him in the Upside Down), Vecna could somehow resurrect Eddie, and use his body as his right-hand man. In D&D, Kas is Vecna’s most trusted lieutenant who, after many years of loyal service, ends up betraying him.
Kas is a human-vampire as well, and many believe that since Eddie was killed by a bat bite, Kas might make the same kind of comeback.
Wild. actually crazy In any case, let’s hope to catch at least one more glance of Eddie Munson as played by Joe Quinn. We merit it.
