'Stranger Things' Fan Theories with Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, Maya Hawke & Joseph Quinn | Vanity Fair 

It’s crazy to me that Eddie is British. He did and American accent SO WELL

I refuse to believe Natalia dyer isn’t timothee chalamet’s twin sister.

Technically someone with a ‘B’ name kind of did die this season. Dr. Martin Brenner or Papa was referred to Dr. Brenner or just Brenner a lot throughout the series

2:58 you can see on joseph’s face just like the thought and sadness when they bring up Eddie’s death theory, he quickly changes the subject. absolutely gutted eddie was the best edition to stranger things ever

as long as the writers don’t kill steve and dustin, it’s all good

If Steve gets through the entire series alive that's more than enough for me, really am not bothered by anyone else biting the dust

I actually have a theory… please forgive me it’s a bit long and has spoilers… I think that Will actually has the same powers as 011 (or at least some of them). Going back, it makes a lot of sense. So we pretty much know now that Will’s disappearance was Henry/Vecna/001. This was all but literally confirmed by Eleven, Henry, and Will. Eleven said to Henry “It has always been you” and Will said something to the effect of “it’s weird to know who it was this whole time.” Furthermore, Henry’s powers developed naturally, without Brenner’s experiments. It’s conceivable to think that this could happen again. With Brenner so focused on reproducing Henry, a naturally occurring kid with powers might have passed him by. Especially considering it seems Henry’s powers started to develop around the age when Will disappeared. It’s possible that Will’s powers didn’t emerge because of all the trauma he went through. Henry also says to Eleven that he “sought her power” because he couldn’t open gates himself and needed the ability to do that. Maybe this only explains why Henry/Mindflayer/Billy went after Eleven so strongly in S3, but I think it explains a bit more. Maybe it explains the original disappearance of Will and the Mindflayer’s connection with Will in S2. Going back and watching how Will disappeared all the way back in S1, it’s pretty clear now that it wasn’t the Demogorgon. The Demogorgon was attracted first of all by blood, which as far as I saw, was notably absent when Will disappeared. The fact that Will also just disappeared and wasn’t immediately killed by the Demogorgon is suspect for me. Maybe he wasn’t supposed to be killed because he was part of Henry’s plan. Maybe he also just got lucky, but maybe it was part of a bigger plan. The mindflayer also noticeably sought Will out in S2. Maybe that’s just because there was already a connection. Maybe it’s because Henry needed Will because he knew that Will could open gates. Further, it is obvious that Will still has a knowledge of the UD. In S2 he could see occasionally into the UD and in later seasons he still shared a lesser sense of knowing about Henry/mindflayer. Maybe that’s just because of the connection he had with them, but maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s because he has some sort of powers. More on the “Will can open gates” theory. In S1 when Will is in the UD, he winds up around a few “almost gates”. For example, we see what I believe to be him reaching through the wall when Holly is in his room when Karen brings Joyce a casserole. It at first seemed like it was just the Demogorgon but on watching again, I think it’s actually Will trying to break through. He also later is able to talk to his mother through a wall which has turned into a bit of a gate. It’s conceivable that his powers may be manifesting themselves here because he is scared and in trouble but he doesn’t realize that he is the one doing it. This kinda got written off as “the Demogorgon can open gates” but maybe that wasn’t the Demogorgon at all. Finally, there is some evidence you could see as foreshadowing. Like for example the fact that Will is always drawing his DND character, Will the Wise, who is in fact, a wizard. It would be genius if the writers had been dangling that in our faces since the beginning. It would also be absolutely awesome to bring it back full circle, that it was all about Will to a certain extent all along. It wasn’t just a coincidence but a plan.

Joe and Joe sitting in the same exact way directly next to eachother is so funny 😂

I never realized how raspy maya’s voice is and it doesn’t even sound like an “I’m sick” rasp it almost sounds natural

Imagine if the series ended with Mike saying : “and that’s what would happen if you got a 7”

The face Joseph Quinn made while he was struggling to pronounce the fan's name that made Maya and Natalia laugh

I love that Maya Hawke just knows stranger things lore beyond most of the fans lol

it’s crazy because there WAS a type of time travel when Nancy, Robbin, Steve, and Eddie went to the upside down. They were in the past.

I could not stop laughing when Joseph was trying to read that user name and Joe said “Excuse you”😂😂

THE WAY NATALIA LAUGHED WHEN THE THING ABOUT SEEING STEVES PARENTS CAME UP 😂💀

I love Maya and Joe's friendship. Both on screen and off screen

Dude, Eddie is officially my favourite ... and this guy just needed to appear in one episode and steal all the scenes he was in....he better not die...please don't die...

The way Natalia and Maya looked at each other after the "Eddie is gonna die" GOT ME

4:52 love that they used the wrong William here. I always forget that Billy’s name is “William Hargrove”, and Joe calling him William definitely threw off the editors, so the whole “runs in the family” joke kinda threw me off.

Call me crazy, I think the older crew in the show are way better characters and way more interesting. Steve, Robin, Jonathan, and Nancy are all great. Eddie and Argyle were GREAT additions in S4 and obviously Hopper and Joyce are awesome too.

am i the one who would genuinely not be ok if it ended in the "it never really happened" theory. So many years and suspense!! If it ended like that it would really tear me to pieces.

I could tell they were being so careful with their words as not to say if people were right and wrong

Natalia and Maya just trying to keep a straight face when a theory mentioned eddies death💀

can we talk about how in most of the interview (example 1:49 ) Natalia and Maya sit just like each other while Joe and Joseph sit in the same pose

Joe needs to be a main character for some other show or movie, he truly deserves it for his career

I feel like Nancy is gonna not wanna make the same mistake again by not being able to save her friend so she’s gonna save Robyn

Natalia had me dying w her “astute observation” pls she’s trying so hard to keep it in💀

The way Joe casually put his arm behind Joseph's back... Like they are so comfortable together and I live for this

Joseph Quinn’s character Eddie Munson is honestly one of my top favorite characters!

Props to Joe Keery. I feel Steve´s probably been the only character to remain consistently engaging throughout the show´s four seasons. Not only this, but seemingly getting better with each one. For me at least.

i love how Joseph is just trying to say someone’s name at 1:43 and he looks at Joe in confusion 🤣🤣

watching this way after season 4 came out makes me realize how many times you could tell they weren’t lying very well 😂

i love when shows make siblings and the siblings friends/partners important to the plot, the show wouldnt be as great without them

I could see Robin as a Russian spy, shes fluent in four languages, she solved the message within a day, and she is very sassy and suspiciously nice to everyone.

0:01 to 0:05 Natalia’s in her own world 😂

Natalia Dyer , Joe Keery ,Maya Hawke and Joseph Quinn make such a great team in real life and in the show!!

Natalia and Maya’s reaction at 2:57 makes so much sense now

Doesn't matter who dies, be it Nancy, Eddie, Steve or Bobbin, coz whoever it is, I'll be sobbin'.

Spoiler warning I find it very funny that when they are like it’s crazy we haven’t died yet and then you have Joseph sitting there silently

Joe calling will “william” cracked me up 😂

maya is so eloquent, she has this crystal-clear way of conveying her thoughts through words. she lowkey embodies robin.

the way they responded to Natalia’s theory about Nancy and Jonathan breaking up….. they all went so silent😂😂 it’s gotta be true

I find it really cute that for many parts of the interview they’re sort of split in half on the couch with Joe Kerry leaning towards Joe Quinn while Maya leans towards Natalia

The bowl cut 😭😭😭😭😭 natalia wtfffffff

Okay but Maya’s voice is seriously one of the best things I’ve ever heard

I love how not only do Joe and Joseph have like matching names but they are also both dressed like dads and I am living for it

I love the fact that almost everyone will hate it if the ending was just a DND game, but these guys love the idea.

I'm so disappointed they didn't talk about the "Vampire Eddie" theory! lol

Alexei dying was heartbreaking, but also kind of creative because all major characters that died were starting with the letter B, so a different letter with another character dying would be confusing yet makes it more tragic.

Eddie was such a great character he absolutely killed it… he didn’t run when it mattered 😢

The last one about the Mind Flayer living in Steve's Glorious Hair, had me howling laughing. That one caught me off guard. Thank you for that, I needed a good belly laugh

I personally think about 3 people who will die on season 5, Max, Mike and Will, Here's my whole theory: For Max's death: Max was supposed to die with Vecna's curse, but she didn't, so he'll probably just want to end her because he failed at killing her twice For Mike's death: Remembering what Nancy said, she saw his dead body with the rest of her family dead bodies, so he's probably going to die, either because of Vecna or either because of something else For Will's death: For me Will is just one of Vecna's many pawns. First of all at the end of season 4, Will had a nosebleed, it could be Noah who had a real nosebleed at that time and they wanted to keep it, or it could only mean that he has a little connection with Vecna. Secondly, the fact that he has a trauma before, the weird nosebleed and the nightmares could probably mean that he could be one of Vecna's victim. Thirdly, he had a connection with the Mind Flayer, that thing who kinda was one of Vecna's most powerful pawn, and knowing that Will has a connection with him means that he will probably kill him to finish his job or he'll probably use him for to achieve his goal I'm sorry I wasted your time by making you read this.

they were all acting really weird and laughing awkwardly when they were talking about characters dying so now im 100% sure that at least one of the people in this video is killed off in the show edit: well… i was right

all there friendships are actually so fun i love seeing them together

Joe and Joseph are so close they are cuddling and I love it 🥺

1:38 dude I loved this little interaction-

I feel like no one is safe this season on Stranger Things, but mostly it seems like the adults are in most danger. I’m rooting for Steve to survive the whole season, or show even.

I have a feeling Steve or Nancy will die this season. The bat bites Steve received weren't there for no reason. Everything in the upside down has always had some sort of underlying effect on whoever it happened to. An example could be the hill scene in s2 and 3 when Will is constantly seen rubbing the back of his neck, in the theatre, on the hill, etc. As for Nancy, she's under Vecna/001's curse, who knows if Eddie (given the trailer snippet with the guitar, in the upside down) can save her.

Did anyone ever notice that the stranger things deaths have a pattern? There is always that new/newer character that gets introduced that season and then dies. And then there is always the fake death scare where a major character makes a promise with another major character, "dies" and then has a whole backstory on how they didn't die in the next season.

7:14 what was that look… 👀👀

Look at their body language when the "Steve is wearing Eddie's jacket bc he died and he wears it as a tribute" theory comes up. That's absolutely what's about to happen.

One theory was right here, and their faces definitely gave it away in retrospect 👀 The time travel theory may also be core to season 5 :)

6:27 Maya saying "quack" was so cute lol

Joseph saying joe has "a very distractring chest" is the best part of this video

The way Joe K sits so close to Joseph when he's reading 🥺

The fact that Eddie is actually a British actor blows my mind... I mean the accent in the movie covers him up so well???

watching this now is so funny cause like when maya and natalia laughed at the death thing and then they were talking about death and joeseph was SILENT lmao

This hits different after watching volume 2

If Steve dies this season (prolly while saving Nancy), I hope he gets to appear in some way in Season 5 because I still want Joe to bond with the casts longer.

I believe I speak for everyone that we need Joe Quinn back for season 5 🥺

I remember a Reddit detailed theory of Alexei being alive

Eddie's in our heart forever, probably one of the best character in the series.

the way they got nervous about the major character death, yeah… someone is definitely dying

i’m so nervous for this season, Steve is my favorite character and his death would break me 💀

SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️ Their faces when they mentioned the theory about Eddie dying 😭 No but Joseph looked so sad, I just wanted to hug him 🥺 Eddie was my favorite character and he’s one of the best. That whole scene literally made me cry, and that’s saying something because I *NEVER* cry during movies or tv shows. Eddie helped me in my personal life in ways I can’t even explain. I hope in the next season he doesn’t just get swept underneath the rug as if nothing happened, because I’ve seen many shows where they kill off a supporting character and then in the next season they act like nothing happened at all. Considering that Dustin was a very close friend of Eddie’s and then Eddie dies in his arms, they better not have him just brush it off. Maybe they can do something like how Max was effected by Billy’s death (without the Vecna part though). I just don’t want Eddie to be forgotten 🥺💔

5:52"Were dealing with some crazy things" stranger things if you will.

“They can smell it”, I bet a major character or two does die. They’re bad at hiding it lol.

the time travel theory actually makes some sense, when they are in the upside down and Nancy is looking for weapons, she realizes that they’ve gone back a few years.

0:25 i thought I heard my hawk

I love Joseph so much-- him and his character are amazing

Most probably Max is going to die because of many theories and little details. First, the letters, there will be a moment in this season or the upcoming season that those letters will be read by the characters. The only reason to read them I could see is her death. Moreover, every detail in the Stranger Things is intentional. Secondly, the letter to Billy, she said if she had she would have pulled him and saved his life… but she stood there. I think that the next time if any of her friends (especially Lucas) would be on the verge of dying, she will sacrifice her life. And this leads to my last point, the song, Running up that hill, “If I only could, make a deal with God and I’would get him to swap our places” this song has a deeper meaning than only being her favourite song. Also Duffer brothers have said that this season is going to be pretty huge for Max.

I think Steve is going to die saving Nancy. If Jonathan dies it will be an easy way for Steve and Nancy to get back together, but if Steve dies just as him and Nancy start liking each other again, then it would way more heartbreaking.

I can't get over how Maya looks and sounds so much like her mother. I gets me smiling every time.

I think Robin’s character is so underrated AND understated! She’s my favorite with her bestie! But her acting is so natural it seems real time…

Nancy is my favorite character in the series. Most people like one of the kids or Steve but nancy or Jim are my favorites of the series, she’s just cool.

Joe calling will 'william' is for some reason hilarious to me 4:51

2:56 Natalie's face kskskske 😭🤣

My Season 5 Theory: Eleven has to be the one to close (at least the majority) of the gate that bleeds into Hawkins at the end of season 4, therefore using to much of her power and dying. Sacrificing herself for the future and safety of Hawkins.

Eddie is my new favorite character. He’s adorkable. I just watched Volume 1. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DON’T KILL HIM OFF. I’VE ALREADY LOST 2 OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS BOB AND BILLY I DON’T WANT TO BE MORE DEVASTATED

i actually can’t describe how much i love joseph. he did such an amazing job as eddie. i love him so much 🥹

but robin does stated in season 3 that she is in class of steve in his school 2:19

the way natalia went kinda awkward and didn’t know what to say for the jancy breakup can mean two things, one, she loves charlie sm so doesn’t want them to breakup or two, ronance.

Im super excited and nervous at the same time. Hoping my fave characters wont die 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Can't wait to watch S4!!

joseph seems so quiet & shy, it’s adorable:’)

1:36 I CANT STOP REWATCHING IT HE STRUGGLED SO HARD WITH AYDNALGL (Same, Joesph) AND WHEN JOE SAID"Excuse you" I CANT😭😭😭

7:33 all of that is true except that Steve doesn't die

love how the eddie dying theory was just eddie giving steve his jacket to cover up

Maya Hawke is such a “lenticular print” combination of her parents. One minute you see Uma and then it morphs into Ethan.

Fan theories are a real gem to the makers of a show like this, cause they get all these ideas they might have never considered.

Well they got the eddie’s dead part right
