AceShowbiz - Joseph Quinn, who masterfully portrayed Eddie Munson in the fourth season of "Stranger Things", has hinted at the possibility of his return in the series' upcoming fifth and final season. Eddie's character left a lasting impression with his heroic demise, sacrificing himself to save his friends from the menacing creatures of the Upside Down. However, the supernatural nature of the show's universe leaves room for his possible revival.
In several interviews, including one with Entertainment Tonight, Quinn played coy regarding Eddie's return. When a journalist suggested Eddie might reappear, Quinn teased, "I might have that feeling, too. Or maybe I don't. Who knows? I don't know! Who knows? Maybe I do." This ambiguity has kept fans' hopes alive, leading them to speculate various scenarios for Eddie's comeback, be it through flashbacks, dreams, or even a supernatural twist.
Quinn has expressed his affection for the cast and crew of "Stranger Things", stating, "I love those guys! I'd love to come and say hello. I'm sure they're working very hard to land the plane. It's been a long time that they've been working on that, so I'm really delighted that they're kind of getting towards the end, and they're having a nice time. I'm sure they're gonna deliver it in a pretty epic finale. I have no doubts."
"Stranger Things" season 5 will see the return of the core cast, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink and Gaten Matarazzo. The exact release date is yet to be announced, but it is expected in 2025.
Since his standout performance as Eddie, Joseph Quinn's career has skyrocketed. He stars alongside Lupita Nyong'o in "A Quiet Place: Day One" and will play a villain opposite Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington in Ridley Scott's "Gladiator 2". Additionally, he has been cast as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch in Marvel Studios' "Fantastic Four (2024)" and is attached to upcoming projects from directors Alex Garland and Bret Easton Ellis.
