Interestingly in the background, we spot Mike Wheeler standing alone, raising concerns that he may be in potential danger. This situation suggests that the team is making efforts to ensure his safety. Recent fan theories have been circulating, speculating that Mike could become Vecna’s first target in season 5. It adds credibility to the idea that he is indeed at risk. This heightened sense of danger is reflected in Will’s anxious expression.

In the background, we can also spot Dustin and Hopper. Nevertheless, it’s worth considering that this could be a separate scene, and they may not be at the same location. Their presence in this different context raises intriguing questions about the narrative’s direction in season 5.

Is Steve Harrington in Danger?

Eagle-eyed fans keenly observed that Steve’s Funko Pop figure was lying down, raising concerns about the fate of their beloved character. Speculations are rife among fans, with some fearing that this arrangement might suggest his demise in season 5. Others believe that Steve might indeed face a perilous situation in the upcoming season but will ultimately be rescued by the Hawkins gang, offering a glimmer of hope for his character’s survival.

Another plausible scenario to consider is that Steve is playing dead as part of a larger plan. This intriguing possibility adds an extra layer of complexity to the narrative, particularly if it unfolds in season 5.

As this scene continues to spark various interpretations among fans, it’s crucial to keep in mind that Steve’s Funko Pop lying down could merely indicate that he is not a part of this specific scene, rather than signaling anything about his character’s fate.

After this video went viral on social media, many users expressed their concern for Steve. One user wrote, “Steve if you don’t get the fuck UP and stop playing games”

Another user wrote, “If they k!ll Steve Harrington I will never trust anyone ever again”

A third wrote, “Steve laying down in the corner actually makes me so scared i will not survive it”

One fan has a perfect response as he said that he owns Steve’s Funko Pop and it cannot stand up, “Steve’s down/injured/d3ad” meanwhile as an owner of that specific Funko I know for a fact it’s just incapable of standing up unless you fool around with it for entirely too long and EVEN THEN there’s no guarantee he stays upright”
