Joe Keery Teases ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5: Steve vs. Jonathan Showdown
In the highly anticipated fifth season of “Stranger Things,” fans can expect a dramatic showdown between Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers. Joe Keery, who portrays Steve, and Charlie Heaton, who plays Jonathan, have not interacted much since the initial season, making their reunion significant.
Character Dynamics in Season 5
During a recent discussion, Keery shared insights about the evolving dynamics between Steve and Jonathan. Natalia Dyer, who plays Nancy Wheeler, joined the conversation, revealing that the characters are now facing challenges that bring them closer together. “We find everyone’s thrown together, working closely, more than in other seasons,” Dyer noted.
Keery added excitement to the mix, stating, “We’re fighting! It’s really fun to work together because we haven’t worked together since season 1.” This competitive spirit is expected to add depth to their relationship.
The Impact of Loss
Another pivotal element of the season is Gaten Matarazzo’s character, Dustin Henderson, who is grappling with the loss of Eddie Munson, played by Joseph Quinn. Keery explained that this loss influences Steve’s role as a protector for Dustin. “He’s kind of this protector character, looking out for him,” Keery said.
The emotional weight on Dustin places Steve in a position where he feels responsible for Dustin’s feelings. Keery remarked, “It takes him on a different path this year, and although it is a little bit more tumultuous, maybe they end up in a better place for it.”
The Final Battle for Hawkins
As the season unfolds, our heroes will face the final conflict against Vecna, portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower. With Hawkins now under military quarantine and Vecna mysteriously absent, the Duffer Brothers have pledged that fans will receive answers to their lingering questions.
