While Stranger Things season 4 has some time before it comes out, star David Harbour sat down with People recently on Jim Hopper’s story. Last we saw Hopper was in a teaser for teaser four which revealed Hopper was still alive. And in a manual labor camp in Russia. While we have loved Hopper in all three seasons, Harbour says we’ll see a whole new side of this fan-favorite character:
“And one of the great things that you can see with Hopper is that he was a protector, he’s a man of justice [and] he now has become a prisoner. He’s trapped and he’s isolated. And we get to see an entirely other color of him that has been hinted at… This season is my favorite because he really is going to show you some new colors and what he’s really made up of.”
Harbour added that we’ll see more of Hopper’s background:
“You really do get to see a lot of his backstory of who he was as a warrior in a sense and sort of the mistakes he made in the past come back to visit him. And he just sort of unfolds.”
Harbour added:
“It really rattles around in your heart, just these ideas of the passage of time and just the fact that the beautiful thing that people are as children, just don’t get to remain. The world affects us, the world changes us. We grow, we develop and those beautiful eyes of a child sort of become something different as we age. So it’s very moving just to watch them grow up and especially to be like an avuncular father figure on the show and be so protective of those kids. To watch them grow up I get a degree of pride and also fear for all of them.”
Who else is super excited for Harbour’s return in Netflix’s Stranger Things season 4!?
