And now, let us begin...
Netflix has unveiled some new images from Stranger Things 4, and some put a spotlight
on two newcomers joining the cast of characters: Argyle and Eddie. In addition to them, we
have another new character officially revealed from a press release as well as the actor
portraying that character, but first we’ll focus on our two new protagonists. Joseph
Quinn will play Eddie Munson, the leader of the Hellfire Club, Hawkins High's D&D club.
In this picture right here, he’s shown leading a game with what appears to be Dustin in the
forefront. Back in November 2020 when he was first announced, the official character description
revealed that Eddie would be an audacious 80’s metalhead hated by those who don’t
understand him, and beloved by those who do. It also said that Eddie will find himself
at the terrifying epicenter of this season’s mystery. In this image, he is standing next
to Robin, Nancy, and Steve, making him the temporary Jonathan Byers replacement for our
gang of Hawkins heroes. Right after those four and Billy Hargrove, Eddie would be the
show’s sixth primary teenage character, closely followed by Argyle this season.
Eduardo Franco is playing Argyle, a fun-loving stoner who proudly delivers delicious pizza
pies for Surfer Boy Pizza. Above that, he will be Jonathan’s new best friend, adding
the much needed character development to a character that many viewers simply see as
Nancy’s boyfriend and sidekick. Seeing Argyle’s sense of humor play off from Jonathan’s
seriousness will be very intriguing to witness on screen, especially with an actor as funny
as Franco. Argyle and Eddie are among the three new characters who have been made series
regulars for Stranger Things season 4; Jamie Campbell Bower also joins the main cast as
Peter Ballard, though he hasn’t been included in anything yet aside from some leaked set
photos from early 2021. It still isn't quite clear how these newcomers will fit in alongside
the core group, but it looks like they could prove to be vital allies in the latest battle
against the Upside Down. With Eddie, Stranger Things can return to its roots with some classic
D&D fun; after all, this is a series that first began with its characters playing the
beloved game. Lastly, we have another small tidbit that was hidden from yesterday’s
fun and chaotic day: another casting addition. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Logan
Riley Bruner will be playing the new character “Fred Benson,” who we briefly talked about
in a couple of videos since late 2020 when all of these new characters were leaked by
Murphy’s Multiverse and slowly being confirmed by the news outlets. In the original character
breakdowns from Charles Murphy, Fred was described as checking all the boxes of the stereotypical
80’s nerd. The bespectacled “Fred,” despite being nerdy, is clever and is pursuing
his passion: journalism. Given all the strange events that have taken place in Hawkins and
the proximity of the series leads to all of them, we’ll see if Fred does more harm than
good once he starts digging around. Some fans speculate that Fred is the mysterious shadowy
figure walking to this car since the person does not match the stature of other suspects
like Will Byers or Peter Ballard. And looking at Bruner, he does look the part of this mysterious
person. Here’s hoping that all of these new characters don’t steal too much attention
from our iconic favorites. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. Are you excited to see these new characters in
Stranger Things 4?
