Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 teaser hints at the last showdown

Without giving too much away for fans who haven’t already made their way through the first part of Stranger Things 4, there’s a showdown coming for the fate of the world. Humanity’s future depends on Eleven as she takes on the malevolent Vecna. But in the new teaser trailer for Stranger Things 4, Volume 2, Vecna taunts Eleven by saying, “It is over, Eleven. You have freed me. You can’t stop this now.”

If that wasn’t ominous enough, it looks like some of our favorite teens are directly in the line of fire from Vecna. Meanwhile, Jim Hopper has uncovered some disturbing things in Russia. It looks like demogorgons have been put on display. But messing with the Upside Down is a very bad idea. It always comes back to bite you in the end.

Stranger Things 4 | Volume 2 Sneak Peek | Netflix

There are only two episodes left in Stranger Things 4, but both installments will be feature-length. The season finale alone is said to be almost two-and-a-half-hours long, which makes it a de facto movie. Whether it will completely wrap up the story or lead into Stranger Things 5 remains unclear. There’s only one season left for Netflix’s breakout genre show, and there are plenty of mysteries that have yet to be solved.

Every Stranger Things monster, ranked
The Spider Monster in "Stranger Things."

Over the course of its time on the air, Stranger Things has delivered fans a lineup of pretty excellent creatures. Some of those creatures have proven to be more menacing than others, but all of them have posed a threat of one kind or another to the residents of Hawkins.

Now, with the full knowledge of who Vecna really is, we know that all of these creatures are extensions of him in one form or another. Even so, that doesn't make any of them less threatening in their own right. With all that in mind, we've ranked the many monsters of Stranger Things from best to worst.

With Stranger Things renewed for a fifth and final season, Matthew Modine  is campaigning for his character, Dr. Martin Brenner, to return to the Netflix series. On the BAFTAs red carpet, Modine suggested that his character may not be dead after the events of season 4.

"Is he dead?" Modine asked when questioned by Radio Times about Brenner's fate. "I wish I knew. I love Millie Bobby Brown. I love the Duffer brothers and Shawn Levy. And it was such a wonderful show to go to work on. It was fun every day that I worked on the show. I hope that there's some way to resuscitate Dr. Brenner and put him in season 5 because it would be wonderful to be part of the last season."

For three seasons of Netflix psychological thriller You, fans watched the eerily charming Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) rationalize his heinous actions through a twisted internal monologue. His killings were gruesome and obsessive behavior terrifying, made worse by his warped justifications for everything he did. He was merely stalking each woman to protect her; it’s how he shows he cares, after all. He’s truly sorry for every murder, but he really had no other option.

In season 4, however, the tables have turned on Joe. Streaming's favorite hunter has now become the prey, with a new serial killer stalking Joe and seemingly getting away with murder. In the process, Joe encounters an embodiment of the thing that he most fears: himself.
