In the same interview, Ross Duffer elaborated even more about Will's storyline in season 5: “Will really takes center stage again in 5. This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that’s being protected. So part of his journey, it’s not just sexuality — it’s Will coming into his own as a young man.” Both Jason and Eddie had what seemed to be a long rivalry. The two strongly disliked each other due to their differing social cliques and Jason's cult-like mindset. The company’s Italian social media accounts went so far as to describe the dynamic as love at first sight. [16] Eddie had visible tattoos on his arms, one of which is a swarm of bats. Eddie also has four other tattoos as confirmed by makeup artist Amy Forsythe: one of a puppet on his inner right forearm, one of a wyvern on his right tricep, a spider on the left side of his chest, and a demonic skull below the spider. Not only has an agreement yet to be reached, but the recent actors' strike suggests it will be some time before both writers and actors return to Hawkins.

In this world, there is a character known as Kas The Bloody-Handed, and he is actually a devout ally to Vecna. The D&D Vecna is known as the most powerful lich in history and considered a God of Secrets who, after recovery from being defeated, later tries to rewrite the world in his own image... That sounds familiar, but we digress. Expert Guitarist: Throughout middle school and high school, Eddie played guitar with his band Corroded Coffin and demonstrated his great skill with the instrument when he performed Master of Puppets to attract the demo-bats in the Upside Down. I am army crawling my way toward a D in Ms. O'Donall's. If I don't blow her final, I'm gonna walk that stage next month. I'm gonna look Principal Higgins dead in the eye, I'm gonna flip him the bird, I'm gonna snatch that diploma, and I'm gonna run like hell outta here!"Physical Strength: Eddie found he could easily manhandle Steve Harrington in a grapple as members of the gang searched for him. However, it could be argued that in that moment, adrenaline was fueling his strength as he was under immense stress, having witnessed Chrissy's murder and fearing he would be blamed for it. After earlier confessing to being a coward and always running away, Eddie willingly takes to the roof of his trailer, whispers "Chrissy, this is for you," and blasts Metallica as a distraction to protect Steve, Nancy, Robin, and the plan. Even though Eddie Munson's Stranger Things run seemingly came to an end, as this Halloween Horror Nights poster notes, his character is expected to play a part in this seasonal event. Joseph Quinn affirmed the speculation's legitimacy in an interview, stating "I think he might have done! I think kind of, yes, I think he did [have a crush on Chrissy]. I think, playing with archetypes, especially in American high school, I don’t think you’d ever put those two together. But they get to know each other more in episode one and there’s kind of potential there, and then something horrible happens. I think the concert, for him, was more about avenging her as a person rather than anything romantic but I think there could have been the potential for a liaison of some kind. I think he did," when asked. [17] [18] Due to the wiki's rules surrounding canonicity, Eddie is listed as between 17 and 20 years of age. [canon-rationale 1] General

This also plays into his determination to finally graduate that year: he would not be allowed to attend into his twenties were he to fail again, and would need to pass a GED exam to obtain his diploma. [1] The Duffer Brothers have also revealed that they would like to hand the spinoff to someone new. “The idea, ultimately, is to pass the baton to someone else, someone who’s hopefully really talented and passionate,” Matt added while on Happy Sad Confused. “Even the idea of Ross and I, say, doing a pilot and leaving it, it just feels silly to me. You really need to be there from the beginning to end. I think we need to find a partner to help us with that.” While filming for Season 5 was expected to begin in June, that all changed due to the writers' strike, followed by the Duffer Brothers confirming a pause in production.When Mike and Dustin brought up Lucas's inability to join Hellfire's campaign later that night, Eddie reminded the boys of how he had welcomed them into his group at the beginning of the school year, and told them that they would be the future of Hellfire once Eddie graduated. He then encouraged Mike and Dustin to seek out other "lost" students who were looking for purpose and recruit them to the D&D club. Some have argued Eddie could be 17 if he skipped two academic years. This theory seems somewhat unlikely, as Eddie has continually failed his senior year due to his disinterest in his studies, but cannot be entirely disproven. Well, when the other dads were teaching their kids how to fish or play ball, my old man was teaching me how to hot-wire. Now, I swore to myself I wouldn't wind up like he did, but now I'm wanted for murder, and soon, grand theft auto. So, uh, I'm really living up to that Munson name." A new poster for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights Stranger Things house featured Eddie Munson's iconic moment from Season 4.

But apparently, Finn Wolfhard took one guess at what the spinoff series was about and got it right. "Finn Wolfhard, he wasn't spitballing, he just went, 'I think this would be a cool spin-off,'" Ross shared with Variety. "And we were like, 'How in the world…?'" And, given Eddie's presence on the poster and what Universal claims, attendees will likely see a retelling of his Stranger Things sacrifice in person. An official poster for Univeral's Halloween Horror Nights Stranger Things house, inspired by Season 4 of the series, highlighted Eddie Munson's sacrificial guitar solo from the season finale. UniversalAccording to a press release from Universal, attendees will encounter characters from the Netflix show, including "Eleven, Max, Eddie and more:" Once inside, they split up. Steve, Nancy, and Robin walked to the Creel House through the woods, while Dustin and Eddie remained at his trailer to lure the Demobats away from the house. Eddie succeeded in drawing the attention of the bats through playing a solo of Master of Puppets by Metallica on his electric guitar. However, as the Demobats came in swarms, Eddie and Dustin dashed into his trailer as the bats tried to break in. For a minute, they thought they were safe, but when the bats found their way in, the boys realized they had to leave the Upside Down through the gate if they wanted to make it out alive. The reason we haven't done anything is just because you don't want to be doing it for the wrong reasons, and it was just like, 'Is this something I would want to make regardless of it being related to Stranger Things or not?' And definitely,” said Matt. "Even if we took the Stranger Things title off of it, I'm so, so excited about it. But it is not… it's going to be different than what anyone is expecting, including Netflix." Her body, just like, lifted up into the air. And uh... and she just like, hung there, in the air. And then her bones- uh,... her bones started to snap. Her eyes, man, it was like there was something, like, inside her head, pulling. I didn't know what to do so I... I ran away." In the spring of 1986, when Eddie was accused of the murder of Chrissy Cunningham, Robin joined in on helping Dustin, Max, and Steve prove his innocence, using rental files from Family Video to find where Eddie was hiding, pinpointing his drug dealer's cabin near Lover's Lake. Finding a shaken and distraught Eddie in the boathouse, Robin joined the others calming him down and explaining that they'd believe his story. Eddie explained how Chrissy levitated and was killed by an unseen force, and the others explained how an entity - dubbed "Vecna" by Dustin and Eddie - from an alternate dimension was most likely responsible. The next morning, Robin and the others arrived with groceries to give Eddie, explaining that they tapped into the police's radio and while Eddie's name had yet to be revealed to the public, it was only a matter of time before he was named in the public and become wanted. Robin explained to a confused Eddie that the talk of an alternate dimension was legitimate, explaining their previous battles while admitting she had only one encounter as opposed to the group's multiple.

He was an electric guitar player in his band Corroded Coffin, and the friend of Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair and Mike Wheeler.There isn't a total count of episodes yet, but while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Matt Duffer revealed that season 5 will be regular-sized, not super-sized like season 4 (which had a total runtime of nearly 13 hours). “The only reason we don’t expect [it] to be as long is, this season, if you look at it, it’s almost a two-hour ramp up before our kids really get drawn into a supernatural mystery," Matt said. "You get to know them, you get to see them in their lives, they’re struggling with adapting to high school and so forth, Steve’s trying to find a date, all of that. None of that is obviously going to be occurring [in Season 5]." In the meantime, fans of the series will have the chance to relive Season 4 at Halloween Horror Nights at both Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood.
