One of the most striking aspects of ‘Stranger Things Season 4 was Robert Englund’s introduction and fans were absolutely stunned when they saw him playing an important character on the show. The series introduced him as Victor Creel in the series. Viewers get to know more about him after the mysterious deaths of Chrissy Cunningham (Grace Van Dien) and Fred (Logan Riley Bruner).

The iconic actor was seen as a man imprisoned for the murder of his family in 1959, but the scarred father believed that it was a demon who took their lives. Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and Robin Buckley (Maya Hawke) went to Pennhurst Asylum, hearing what Creel has to say about that fateful night as they faced Vecna’s wrath. However, things took a u-turn when Vecna told Nancy that he was Victor’s son, Henry, and made her believe that it was Victor who killed his family. As of now, it’s yet to be seen if Vecna’s claims are right or not, but fans would love to hear the truth from Creel’s mouth and are hoping that the character makes a comeback in the final two episodes.

Englund gave an update regarding his character’s fate in a recent interview and said that he is still “unsure” if Victor Creel will be seen in the finale two episodes of the fourth edition. In the interview with CinemaBlend, he also opened up about Vecna’s revelation at the end and believes that Vecna might return to kill his father.

“I don't know. You know what I realized is, that I just finished watching the whole entire season 4. But there's a moment when Nancy is in the sort of red upside down... There's a voiceover there, and (Vecna) talks about me. ‘Old Victor. Oh, I haven't seen old Victor in a while.’He says, ‘Well, maybe, I've been so, so busy. But maybe I should revisit him or something.’ So, I don't know what that means. I don't know if that's just the writing reaffirming to the audience the relationship between the two, you know?” Englund said.

In March 2022, Englund revealed that he has already shot his part and will appear in Episode 4 of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4. However, it won’t come as a shock if the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ star returns to the show for an epic sequence with Vecna. Even though his character might not make an appearance on the show, Englund’s comments have made everyone believe that Victor’s story might not be over yet.

The final two episodes or Volume 2 of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 will be making its way to Netflix on Friday, July 1, and will see Eleven going head-to-head with the demon. The new poster for Volume 2 teases an epic showdown between two powerhouses.

We just can’t wait for Volume 2 to arrive. THE GAME IS ON!!!
