Stranger Things Season 5: Is this character is making a comeback

• Matthew Modine, known for his role as Papa, is reportedly preparing for a potential return to the series.
• Modine also discusses a key moment involving Eleven, where his character thwarted her powers.
• If true, Papa’s return could reveal his hidden supernatural powers.

As the audience eagerly anticipates the final season of “Stranger Things”, they might not be ready for the return of a major character from previous seasons. Matthew Modine, who portrayed Papa in Netflix’s science fiction and action series, is making waves with his potential comeback.

For devoted fans of the series, Papa, also known as Dr. Martin Brenner, served as the head of Hawkins Lab and played a pivotal role in the show’s earlier seasons.

In a recent interview with “Vulture” titled “Matthew Modine Doesn’t Think His Stranger Things Time Is Up”, the “Full Metal Jacket” star suggested that his character might not be as dead as he appeared in “Stranger Things” Season 4 – Part 2.

“I wouldn’t want him to be dead,” Modine stated right before he played with the brains of the fans.

The *Married to the Mob* actor raised the question, “How did he [Brenner] survive the Demogorgon? How did he survive One?”

Modine also shared his thoughts on a key moment involving Eleven, recalling when she used her powers to send three guards flying into the air. His character, however, managed to thwart her, remarking, “You didn’t think it was going to be that easy, did you?”

The “The Dark Knight Rises” actor also pointed out that Eleven couldn’t use her powers against Papa, suggesting that Dr. Brenner might have something more “than meets the eye.”

Many online theories have speculated that Dr. Brenner is not only the head of Hawkins Lab but also a client himself.

On the other hand, many believe that Dr. Brenner was the original psychically endowed operative working for the government.

This theory explains how Dr. Brenner knew to push the children beyond their limits to unlock their psychic abilities.

If the rumors are true and Papa returns for one final time, we may finally see him using his supernatural powers, which have remained hidden until now.

“Stranger Things” Season 5 will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2025.
