Sun’s out, fun’s out!
The Duffer Brothers have calledStranger Things4 theirGame of Thronesseason.
It just so happens that there are a couple veterans from that fantasy epic among the cast.
Joseph Quinn plays Eddie Munson, head of the Hawkins High ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ club, in ‘Stranger Things’ season 4.Tina Rowden/Netflix
One of them is Joe Quinn.
“It was such good fun,” the actor told EW of that cameo.
“I was a big fan of the show.
It was fun to have a sword and be in Winterfell.
I remember thinking that was quite cool.”
Genre fans will more easily remember Quinn’s face after the season 4 premiere ofStranger Thingsthis May 27.
“I don’t think it’s a part-time gig,” Quinn says of Eddie.
“It’s a real lifestyle.”
Stranger Thingsis a different beast thanThrones.
Instead of dragons and dire wolves, Quinn’s dealing with demo-bats.
But he does agree with the Duffers' comparison in terms of scope.
(That’s another similarity: Spoilers.
)“There was one sequence in the woods.
It was a night shoot.
We got there and the whole forest was lit up.
It was so thrilling.
There’s some sequences in it that are just…” He pauses again.
“It’s going to be massive, I think.”
“It’s weird.
That vibe comes from the new demo-monster in town:Vecna.
Though the actor can’t speak to specifics (again, spoilers) we can piece together some things.
Vecna is the name of a prominent undead sorcerer fromD&Dwho grew so powerful he became deified.
Eddie is, perhaps,theD&Dexpert in Hawkins.
I think people will really respond to it.”
Volume I ofStranger Thingsseason 4 will premiere this May 27 with Volume II dropping July 1 on Netflix.
