In less than three weeks, fans are about to witness the continuation of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the rest of the gangs' fight against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) in "Stranger Things" Season 4B. The final showdown worries viewers that the fan-favorite characters may meet their demise and the number one on the list is Steve (Joe Keery).
Steve is in danger after being bitten by bats from the Upside Down. Add to that Robin's (Maya Hawke) mention of rabies, does this mean fans are about to say goodbye to Hawkins' favorite babysitter in "Stranger Things" Season 4B.
In an interview with TVLine, Matt Duffer revealed everyone's always worried about Steve. "We always have to beat Steve up somehow," he said.
This time, the Demobats have already done that job in the first part of the fourth season. So, will something happen to Steve just like what Robin feared?
Ross Duffer admitted he feels excited that people are showing some concern. However, instead of Steve, he revealed viewers should be worried about everyone in the final two episodes.
But did you know Joe Keery's character was supposed to die in the premiere season? Rotten Tomatoes revealed Matt Duffer's interview, giving the actor credit for changing his role's trajectory.
The cast has an impact on where they take the show's narrative. Though they're not making the series without careful thoughts and preparations, there's a "rough plan at all times."
Meanwhile, the upcoming "Stranger Things" Season 4B hints at many possibilities. Vecna has clarified his motives in the first part, taking the soul of victims with traumatic pasts.
So, will he have another victim this time? Who will die in the last two episodes?
Aside from Steve, Nancy (Natalia Dyer) may die in the second part's finale. In the first part's final episode, Vecna brought her back to the Upside Down just when she was about to return to the real world.
So, will she be Vecna's next victim? Though it was revealed that hearing the victims' favorite music, insert Max's (Sadie Max) favorite song "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) by Kate Bush, and the happy memories that came with it, it might not entirely rid the curse, per Screenrant.
Next is Enzo (Tom Wlaschiha). Sure, he might have escaped the Russian Demogorgon but not the wrath of Kamchatka. After helping Hopper (David Harbour) escape, his fate seems to be already sealed.
Of course, Eddie (Joseph Quinn) is part of the list. He may end up sacrificial bait for Vecna in the final two episodes as he's seen playing his guitar in the Upside Down. The series has been known for killing fan-favorite, one-season characters and he may be the next.
Lastly is Jim Hopper. He has promised to save Eleven even if it's the last he has to do, though it may be far from happening.
"Stranger Things" Season 4B is set to be out on July 1.
