And now, let us begin...
Stranger Things season 4 is already Netflix’s most-viewed English language series of all
time, and that record will only grow when the final two installments of the season debut
on July 1. The penultimate episode of “Stranger Things 4” runs at about 85 minutes, while
the season finale is a full-blown feature film with its runtime of nearly two and a
half hours. In an interview with The Guardian, Joseph Quinn, who is famous for his breakout
performance as Eddie Munson, teased that the lengthy finale of season 4 is absolute chaos.
He also reflected on his journey of joining the show, including his unusual casting process.
When asked about how he was cast following his submission of two audition tapes, the
actor elaborated by saying that he didn't take part in any meetings or chemistry readings,
with the process being shorter than he thought it would be. Quinn admitted that this left
him feeling unnerved, with him afterward wondering if showrunners the Duffer Brothers would feel
like they'd miscast him later on. He said:
"No meetings, no chemistry reads, no protracted process. It was pretty unusual and very disarming.
It meant I was waiting for [creators] the Duffer brothers to realize they’d made a
mistake."
While he obviously had to be cagey about the details, he added that he hopes they invite
him to come back in season 5, which might imply that his character survives the end
of the season. When asked about Eddie’s role in Volume 2 and his guitar scene, he
responded:
“The thing is, they’ve got my family tied up somewhere and if I spoil anything, I’ll
never see them again. I can say there’s a guitar scene and that the scale and ambition
are astonishing. All the seeds that have been planted bear fruit and it’s just carnage.
You know the finale is two and a half hours, right? Ending with this monster, feature-length
episode is so bold. I’ll be furious if they don’t bring me back. I’d love to, if they’ll
have me.”
Considering Munson's proclivities, it's not exactly shocking that he gets the chance to
play his guitar in the final episode. However, given the gravity and scale of the Stranger
Things season 4 finale, it's likely that this will be more than just shredding, perhaps
making his guitar skills the key to unlocking some major moment on their adventure. In fact,
he may find himself playing the Kate Bush song "Running Up That Hill," the song that
has been used repeatedly throughout the season to ground Max when her mind is separated
from her body. It wouldn't be shocking if Stranger Things found more uses for the iconic Kate
Bush track, which they have popularized to the point that it has now topped charts for
the first time over 30 years after its release. However, even if Eddie plays guitar for a
totally separate reason, it is sure to be an image ripped straight from the cover of
an 80s hard rock heavy metal album. Some people theorize that he will play a song from
Metallica, which is perhaps the most iconic heavy metal rock band from the 80s. Others
think he’ll play a song from Dio, which is also possible considering that he wears
a Dio jacket throughout the season. Thankfully, fans don't have long to wait to find out exactly
what Joseph Quinn means in his interview, nor do they have to wait long to see what
song Eddie will play during his concert in the Upside Down. Here’s hoping that he also
survives and makes it out alive this season and comes back for Stranger Things 5. Overall,
very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. What song do you think Eddie will play in Stranger
Things 4, Volume 2?
