Stranger Things Season 5 is slowly approaching its release date and fans couldn’t be more excited for the ultimate chapter of the Duffer Brothers creation. As production on the installment proceeds, showrunners continue to adopt extensive measures to keep things hidden from the public. Despite their best efforts, certain photos have managed to trickle their way out of the Stranger Things Season 5 set of late.
Stranger Things Season 5’s set photos tease Vecna’s return
The recently acquired photos from the show’s set have provided fans with an updated look at the villainous Vecna in the final season.
As per the Stranger Things Season 5 set photos on X (formerly Twitter), Jamie Campbell Bower’s Vecna can be seen standing menacingly, with a hoard of dead bodies surrounding him. Moreover, the images seem to suggest that the superhuman entity has successfully made its way to Earth. As such, this would mark his first actual appearance in the real world, away from the Upside Down, according to Dexerto.
The superhuman entity tasted defeat at the hands of Eleven and her friends at the end of Season 4. However, the concluding scene revealed that the threat is far from over. The captivating sequence also hinted at Vecna’s arrival on Earth, which seems to be the case according to the recent Stranger Things Season 5 set photos.
Here’s a look at the photos:
While Jamie Campbell Bower will be coming back to Stranger Things’ conclusive installment, the return of the show’s initial villain is still unknown. The terrifying Mind Flayer was the first big bad of the series before his reign ended abruptly in Season 3. Vecna has already made contact with the interdimensional being, as seen in previous seasons. Therefore, it is possible for the Mind Flayer to make one final appearance on the show.
Nevertheless, specific details regarding the plot of Stranger Things Season 5 remain uncertain, despite the recently witnessed set photos. Moreover, there is no concrete update on the season’s release date as of yet. Fans can expect the ultimate chapter of the show to come out sometime by mid-2025.
