In a surprising development, Jim Hopper and Eddie Munson may finally share the screen together. However, let us clarify: this is not occurring in the now-concluded
Stranger Things universe. David Harbour and Joseph Quinn portrayed the beloved characters in the Netflix series that has recently wrapped up. Interestingly, they are also part of the principal cast in Marvel's upcoming blockbuster, Avengers: Doomsday. This creates the potential for Harbour and Quinn to appear in the same scene. If this comes to fruition, it is anticipated to be a significant moment for fans of both Stranger Things and the MCU.
Fans respond to the potential of David Harbour and Joseph Quinn sharing the screen
Social media users are buzzing with speculation, as numerous posts have emerged on X (formerly Twitter), where they shared their enthusiasm about seeing David Harbour and Joseph Quinn together. Although the actors may have said farewell to Jim Hopper and Eddie Munson, they are now part of the Marvel universe as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian in Thunderbolts (New Avengers) and Johnny Storm / Human Torch in the Fantastic Four franchise. Given that all the new superheroes of the MCU will unite against Doctor Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., it is anticipated that Red Guardian and Johnny Storm will also cross paths.
Fans have been vocal about this possibility. One user posted on X, "I can't wait to see this." Another comment read, "this interaction is going to be wild for real." A user exclaimed, "Wait… EDDIE and HOPPER finally in the same scene?? This is going to be epic." Another fan quipped, "I'm relieved that Hopper has moved on from the idea of Montauk and that Eddie is still alive."

Some fans pointed out that Hopper was unaware of Eddie's involvement with the Hawkins crew, as he was battling Demogorgons in a Russian prison when Eddie made his sacrifice in the Upside Down. Others expressed hope that their characters, Red Guardian and Johnny Storm, might encounter Sadie Sink's character (likely Jean Grey) in Avengers: Secret Wars as Sadie is set to make her Marvel debut with Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
