Stranger Things is arguably one of - if not
the most popular series on Netflix - especially after the separation between the streaming service and Marvel in the wake of Disney+. Having lost series such as
Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher, and
Defenders, Netflix has become increasingly reliant on their original programming like
The Umbrella Academy, Altered Carbon, Black Mirror, and of course -
Stranger Things.
In the first three seasons of
Stranger Things there have been multiple standout characters - with Eleven, Hopper, and Billy standing out but none receiving quite a response as Dustiin. Having recently chatted with Daily Variety's Audrey Yap, Gaten Matarazzo, who plays the fan-favorite, hat-toting, speech-impediment boasting Dustin on
Stranger Things opened up about both his prank show on Netflix as well as his role in the Netflix horror series and where
Season 4 might see his character - and the others - go.
“It’s really hard to say because I don’t really know where the characters are going. He’s flapping in the wind at this point. At the end of the season, all the kids are divided because everyone moves away from Hawkins. Eleven goes with Will and Joyce to go try and find some type of peace and the rest of the gang stays behind. I don’t necessarily know how that’s going to work. I mean Mike and El being separated is crazy. I think fans are going to freak out.”
One of the things fans love doing most is theorizing what could come next online in comment threads and message boards - and its good to know that those oddball theories reach the eyes of the actors and people involved in the show. Which crazy
Stranger Things Season 4 is Matarazzo's favorite? That's easy.
“They’re all interesting. My favorite theory is that Suzie’s actually a Russian mastermind and spy working with the Russian government. I think it’s so stupid and so funny. I hope that doesn’t play out because that would be weird.”
For all of his comments, including hearing what he has to say about his prank series - check out the full interview Matarazzo had with Variety below, and beneath that be sure to watch the announcement trailer for
Stranger Things Season 4!
We're not in Hawkins anymore.
Stranger Things Season 4 production is scheduled to begin in January.
