Eddie was a new arrival inStranger Things season 4, instantly winning hearts of audiences as a heavy metal loving member of the Hellfire Club. However, he was one of the unlucky ones who didn’t make it through the final confrontation withVecnain the show’s finale, after he sacrificed himself to the Demobats to buy the others some more time.

Since it aired, there have beenplenty of theories about how Eddie could return in some form or another. However,Quinn has been pretty clear that he thinks it’s unlikely. “[Director and producer] Shawn Levy has said it publicly,” he previously toldGQ. “I think [his return] would be very, very, very unlikely. He seems pretty fucking dead to me.”

We’ll have to wait and see whether we see the star wearing that iconic wig again, but in the meantime Quinn has a fair amount on his plate. Next up isA Quiet Place: Day One alongside Lupita Nyong’o, then he’s gotGladiator 2 with Paul Mescal. After that, he’s all set to join the MCU as Johnny Storm (the Human Torch) alongside Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby.
