And now, let us begin...
Yesterday, we got a new casting announcement for the upcoming fourth season of Stranger
Things.
Ed Amatrudo is set to play Director Hatch, a new character that was previously named
as Warden Hatch in the leaked character description from the website “Murphy’s Multiverse”
in early 2020.
Hatch was described as “smug” and “pretentious,” and the head of a psychiatric hospital which
will definitely be Pennhurst Mental Hospital.
The other characters that will be connected to this place are Peter Ballard and Victor
Creel.
Nancy and Robin will also be visiting Creel for unknown reasons, most likely related to
mysterious occurrences regarding the Creel House.
Amatrudo confirmed this news tidbit on Twitter, making Director Hatch the last confirmed character
with an actor from the original leaked characters description from early 2020.
Next up, we have a Doritos tie in that will run until July 17.
A Demogorgon all over the front of this Cool Ranch Doritos.
However, the logo is a traditional Stranger Things logo, not a specific season 4 logo.
That could mean that Netflix is trying to ramp up hype for the entire series ahead of
the arrival of Stranger Things season 4.
It’s unknown if this tie in will only be on the Cool Ranch or we’ll see it on other
flavors like Nacho Cheese.
Yummy.
Then, we have this jigsaw puzzle spotted on Amazon, featuring a new promo poster and an
ominous tagline, “War Is Coming To Hawkins.”
It gives you the chills.
We have new looks at the main gang, with a younger Eleven being front and center above
them all.
It makes me wonder if the characters will look this way in the character posters that
usually get revealed shortly before the release dates of the seasons.
Everyone is in a similar pose like their Uno Cards from last week.
We also got a couple of more merchandise leaks from Reddit.
Someone sotted a bunch of dog toys and plushies for the show at a Petsmart, and in another
post that was taken down, there will be season 4 exclusive merch coming to Petsmart in May.
Lastly, we have this toy with an intriguing name: “autopsy Demogorgon.”
Seems like the Russians are playing with fire here since a Demogorgon or pretty much anything
from the Upside Down is something not to play with.
In general, the marketing is starting to ramp up, at least on the merchandise side of things.
Lots of people are noticing that most of these toys will be released on April 15, making
some wonder if the trailer will be out by then.
We previously talked about the trailer potentially coming out on April 14 a couple of days ago,
so one has to wonder if we will actually get to see it by then.
In the meantime, we shall see if we’re getting the recap for season 3 tomorrow, because we
just got recaps on Joyce Byers and Dustin Henderson.
Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
