Eddie Munson is one of the most beloved characters in television history. In just one season of Stranger Things, the character played by British actor Joseph Quinn became an absolute fan favourite. Fans were very upset at his death in Stranger Things Season 4 and the internet is rife with speculations and fan theories about a possible return of Eddie Munson to the world of Stranger Things. In this post, we will take a look at some of those theories because just like you, we want Eddie Munson back on screen. Let’s get started.

Eddie Munson: Will We Ever See Him Again? 

What happened to Eddie Munson? 

At this point, the fans of Stranger Things have said goodbye to the character of Joseph Quinn, who starred in one of the most moving moments of the Netflix series in season 4. However, fans of the creation of the Duffer brothers have not given up and have outlined a theory in which the metalhead would return to the story starring Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp, among others.

Eddie was one of the new characters that appeared in season 4 of the program. About to graduate, a “Dungeons and Dragons” fan, he started out acting like a would-be bully.

However, there were more layers behind Quinn’s role, a young man who had the misfortune to see one of his friends die, a crime that was attributed to him. The image of him, in this way, was disastrous.

Later, Eddie had the opportunity not to run and, with a valiant but tragic twist, he became a hero during the battle against Vecna. Now, the followers of ” Stranger Things ” do not want to let go and have outlined this theory that would explain his return in season 5.

How can Eddie Munson return to Stranger Things?

The fans of “Stranger Things” have slipped that there is a possibility that Eddie Munson will return to the Netflix series: being manipulated by Vecna. For this, the theories have been based on the game “Dungeons and Dragons”, where Eddie would become Kas, Vecna’s ally who ends up betraying him to take his power.

There are different clues that Internet users have taken from the episodes of season 4 of the creation of the Duffer brothers, who, by the way, have said that Eddie’s character has died permanently. But why believe them if they also claimed that Jim Hopper died at the end of season 3?

This seems to be the slogan of the fans of the Netflix series, who have found signs in Eddie with the figure of Kass. One of them is that Eddie uses, together with Dustin, spiked shields as Kas did in the game that spans all the seasons of “Stranger Things”.

In this way, they have theorized regarding Eddie, saying that Vecna ​​could take his corpse, which as far as is known is still in the Upside Down, to turn it into one of his servants in his onslaught against Eleven and all of Hawkins. A new twist in the show’s story wouldn’t be a surprise, the Duffer brothers know a lot about this.

How is Stranger Things linked to Elfen Lied?

Matt Duffer, one of the creators of ” Stranger Things “, said that the anime “Elfen Lied” was key to the construction of the main character of the Netflix series, Eleven, and this is how he detailed it in a media outlet.

“More recently I had watched an anime called Elfen Lied which is clearly inspired by Akira. And that was very influential. When I saw it, I thought it felt like an ultraviolent version of  ET. There were a lot of things there that I really liked that found their way into the show, particularly related to the character of Eleven.” 

Did Millie Bobby Brown Shave Her Head in Stranger Things Season 4?

No, the American actress Millie Bobby Brown did not shave her head to play Eleven in season 4 of “Stranger Things”. The celebrity used a wig in the flashbacks where her character appears with short hair as part of the experiments.

This piece of information was revealed by Sarah Hindsgaul, the stylist of the Netflix series. She recounted the difficult process to simulate that Eleven has very short hair, hiding the long hair that the artist now sports.

What did David Harbor dislike about Stranger Things?

In an interview, actor David Harbor said that while he loves working on Stranger Things and likes all his co-workers, he isn’t very happy with the fact that all the child actors have been forced to grow up so fast because of their fame and haven’t been able to enjoy their childhood.

What will happen in Stranger Things Season 5?

Although there is no official synopsis so far, Matt Duffer has already revealed some details of this new installment: “We have a scheme for season 5, we presented it to Netflix and they really responded well, I want to say, it was hard. It is the end of the story. I saw executives crying, who I had never seen cry before and it was wild,” he explained.

In this way, it is confirmed that this installment will be very emotional for a large part of the audience. Without a doubt, after discovering that the entire city of Hawkins is under siege and with two members of the team down, this will surely be the season with one of the biggest battles in the series. 

Which Stranger Things actor believes that Eddie Munson will be back in Stranger Things Season 5?

Eddie Munson has left his mark on many of his fans, a new member of the team of protagonists who have been very popular among viewers of the series. Eddie Munson is a big fan of role and rock and left us one of the key moments of the season with his rendition of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” with Dustin on the top of his trailer. The character’s fate, however, is not so funny as he ends up being shot down by some of Vecna ‘s monster minions and ends up dying. However, Maya Hawke, the actress who plays Robin, talked about Eddie’s return being a possibility.

Maya Hawke was speaking about bringing back dead characters like Eddie Munson though it’s not always the best idea. “I totally sympathize with the fans who want to see more of him. …I feel like we can’t keep killing people and bringing them back to life, the fans themselves would be so upset! But I would love for them to find a way to have Eddie’s ghost in the mix, just because Joe Quinn is such an awesome guy. It’s a lot of fun having him on set and he’s a great actor,” the actress commented.

Can Eddie Munson return to Stranger Things Season 5?

In many stories the death of the character is not necessarily the end of his story, returning through flashbacks, in spirit form, or even directly resurrecting. Sometimes, as in the case of Hopper himself from Stranger Things, the character doesn’t really even die even if he seemed to, but Eddie Munson’s death was much more graphic than that of the Hawkins sheriff and the Duffer brothers confirmed that, in effect, the character has died.

The actor who plays Eddie Munson himself, Joseph Quinn, talked about this idea of ​​Eddie returning in a somewhat supernatural way to support and communicate with his friend Dustin, and the Stranger Things theme would allow an event like this to fit into the plot of the series. Another idea from some fans is that Vecna ​​himself resurrects Eddie Munson as his henchman, although the concept of a zombie Eddie isn’t the most congenial to everyone.

Death in Stranger Things is quite a sensitive and relevant topic, since even some secondary characters like Barb continue to be missed in the series even years after their death. What the Duffer brothers have planned for Eddie Munson and the plot of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things we will only be able to find out when it is available on Netflix, although there is still a little more for that. 

Will Eddie Munson return as a vampire in Stranger Things Season 5?

The fans of Stranger Things still do not accept the death of Eddie (Joseph Quinn), the last great addition of the fourth season that immediately won the affection of the audience. In a Reddit portal channel, they took the opportunity to launch new theories about the character’s return, where a user pointed out the crazy idea that he could return as some kind of vampire.

This idea is supported by the connection between Stranger Things and the role-playing game ‘ Dungeons and Dragons ‘. The protagonists have previously used names of characters from the game to refer to the different threats they encountered, such as the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer or Vecna ​​(Jamie Campbell) himself.

One user believes that Eddie’s plot could be interconnected with the performance of the character of Kas, the destroyer. In fact, Eddie himself mentions this character in the series.

“I think Vecna ​​will find Eddie’s body dead or half dead and infect it, just like he was infected by the Upside Down, and Eddie will change and not become a supernatural vampire, but something similar,” commented the user regarding Eddie’s future.

Who is Kas?

In ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ Kas is an immortal vampire and a warrior. He is associated with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, just as we see Eddie in battle, next to his makeshift shield. It is also worth mentioning that bats are present in the character’s tattoos and he is precisely devoured by them in the confrontation.

The possibility of the return of the character is adding more and more followers

Did Joseph Quinn confirm Eddie’s return to Stranger Things Season 5?

This last theory is not so far-fetched if we take into account the trend of reviving characters in ‘Stranger Things’. We didn’t even see his body at the end of season 4. What is clear is that a legion of supporters has come together to call for Eddie’s return to the series. Precisely, his interpreter mentioned in the Jimmy Fallon program a curious anecdote that he had with the police.

“They held me at Immigration yesterday. They took me to, I guess what you could call it, it was more of a dungeon,” the actor joked. “They asked me to wait there for about 20 minutes, and then they took me to a table where they asked me: ‘What are you doing in the United States?’ and I replied: ‘Actually, I’m here for an interview with Jimmy Fallon. And no. They believed me.”

“One of his colleagues looked at me, looked at him and said, ‘Leave Eddie alone! It’s Eddie from Stranger Things.'” Then the security agent brought out his fan side by asking him if he would return in the next season. It was there when Quinn responded that he had no idea, getting a little nervous, which has raised more suspicions.

With or without Eddie, the stellar series continues. What is clear is that the future of Joseph Quinn looks promising and we will be able to continue enjoying the adventures of the protagonists of Stranger Things in the last season of the Netflix series.
