Stranger Things star David Harbour says season 4 sees Hopper return to "the warrior realm"
Hopper will be back on fighting form in season four.
Fans of Stranger Things should expect to see Jim Hopper back in his "warrior realm" in season four, David Harbour has hinted in a recent interview.
The Black Widow star, who's played Hawkins chief of police Hopper since season one, said in a recent interview that the upcoming series will see Hopper retreat from the fatherly figure he's become to return to his grittier roots.
"One of the interesting things about Hopper this season — although you do see a lot of that fatherly stuff — is I did want to take him back into the warrior realm because there's something as you get to be the dad role where, you know, it's a bit like the dad gene," he told the That Scene with Dan Patrick podcast.
"You start to become less of a viable presence in the world," he added. "They're more like, 'Oh, dad' — like someone who people are humiliated by, and like, I'm not quite ready for that. I still want to be, like, a presence."
