Stranger Things 4: Joseph Quinn on Eddie's Fate and Learning to Play Metallica
2,940From creators the Duffer Brothers, the fourth season of Stranger Things wrapped up with what could only be described as the beginning of the end — literally, as our intrepid gang of heroes looked on while the town of Hawkins cracked open and the power of Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) and his minions from the Upside Down decisively started to leech out into reality. Although the showdown between Vecna and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) was ultimately a triumph for the good guys, it seems as though the Big Bad of not just the season — but the entire show — is only down, not completely out, and the battle didn't come without some big losses in the process. One of them turned out to be none other than Hellfire founder and Hawkins' misunderstood bad boy Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn), who sacrificed himself in a devastating moment worthy of inclusion in any D&D campaign, much to the despair of Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo). Although the town of Hawkins still believes Eddie to be mainly responsible for the chaos caused early on in the season, Dustin has made all efforts to quietly brand his friend a hero.
On the heels of Season 4's final two episodes dropping on Netflix, Collider had the chance to speak with Quinn about his role on the series, as well as when he first learned about what Eddie's fate would be by the finale. Over the course of the interview, which you can either watch above or read below, Quinn also spoke about learning to play Metallica for his character's iconic scene — and how that song choice was always in the script — even if it's not always his hands shown in that performance. Additionally, the actor talked about bringing a fraternal love to life on-screen with Matarazzo and how he'd love to return for the show's fifth and final season.
