During a promotional event for The Fantastic Four, he again hinted at the possibility in an interview with Extra TV, saying,

"Oh my god, yeah, I mean, it’s going to be out soon, isn’t it? Who knows? There’s always a chance for anything, isn’t there, really? Nothing’s impossible."

These remarks have kept the fanbase hopeful, though nothing is confirmed yet.

Joseph Quinn gained widespread recognition for his role as Eddie Munson in Stranger Things Season 4. He has recently hinted that he might return in the upcoming fifth and final season of the series.

So, despite Eddie’s death in the Season 4 finale, Quinn’s comments have fueled speculation about the character’s potential reappearance. Since his breakout role, Quinn has become a rising talent, and he has appeared in several notable projects.

Currently, he is promoting his role as Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch. While balancing these commitments, Quinn has kept fans guessing about his involvement in Stranger Things Season 5.

In a 2024 interview, he was asked directly whether Eddie Munson would return, to which Quinn gave a noncommittal but intriguing response: he acknowledged knowing more than he was willing to share.

Although the reappearance of Joseph Quinn in Season 5 has not been confirmed by Netflix, the most recent teaser shows Dustin pays a visit to Eddie Munson's grave. The words "BURN IN HELL" are sprayed on the grave, which shows that even though Eddie does not appear on screen, his character remains significant to the plot.

Joseph Quinn's acting career is progressing. He will also play George Harrison in an upcoming film on the Beatles. Fans are thrilled, as they hope for him to return to Stranger Things.

Though Eddie Munson's narrative ends in a heroic death, there are several imaginative ways the program may bring him back. Flashbacks, dream sequences, and otherworldly appearances are all ideas that the authors could consider.

Stranger Things' final season will air in three installments: November 26, December 25, and 31, 2025.
