And now, let us begin...
Jim Hopper is perhaps one of the most iconic characters to come out of Stranger Things,
and he is certainly one wh had a lot of character development throughout the show. After starting
off as an indolent small-town policeman, he slowly became a loving father figure to Eleven
and became a hardened fighter willing to put his life on the line to protect the people
he loves. Stranger Things season 4 begins with him working to escape a Russian prison
camp after he was presumed dead after the Battle of Starcourt in season 3, keeping him
separate from the rest of the cast for the bulk of its runtime. While he has now reunited
with Joyce Byers, he still needs to make his way into the main storyline of volume 2. In
a recent chat with IndieWire, David Harbour sat down to discuss all things Hopper and Stranger
Things. While the conversation encompasses the entire run of the show, of course the
topic naturally turns to what's coming next in Stranger Things 4. Harbour revealed that,
for everyone involved, the final two episodes will be "a race to the finish.” Here’s
what he had to say:
“It’s the race to the finish. What you’re gonna see is us sprinting as hard as we can
— not only are you gonna see the Duffers sprinting there cinematically in this epic,
extraordinary way, but you’re gonna see all the characters [doing] more and you’re
gonna have these epic action sequences. In terms of Hopper’s arc, you’re gonna see
him be more vulnerable and more powerful than you’ve ever seen, and I’m just so excited
for you. I can’t talk about it anymore. I need you guys to watch. I think you’re
gonna be blown away.”
Hopper has certainly been put through the wringer in Stranger Things season 4. Although
Volume 1 took its time allowing him to interact with anyone from Hawkins, he will surely be crossing
paths with more familiar characters in the Volume 2. These moments will likely account
for his vulnerability, particularly once he finally reunites with Eleven. Beyond that,
though, Hopper will have to bring all the strength he has honed throughout his tribulations
to help defend Hawkins from Vecna. The show won't repeat its season 3 finale by having
Hopper sacrifice himself to save the kids. However, with this intense season 4 arc, it
may be setting up a similar fate for him in season 5, which will be the final season of
Stranger Things as a whole. In the meantime, the conclusion of his season 4 arc is sure
to be emotionally powerful nevertheless, and it will be interesting to see what the final
episodes have in store for everyone involved. Here’s hoping that Hopper returns safe and
sound to Hawkins in Stranger Things 4, Volume 2. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. What did you think about this new interview for
Stranger Things season 4?
