Given that the character has beaten death in the previous seasons, his presence in the upcoming season might add the thrill. There are possibilities of the character appearing through flashbacks. Although he can come back as hallucinations of Eleven as well because of her traumatic past. The Duffer Brothers have a chance to bring the iconic character back from the dead.

Vecna has an immense ability for destruction. However, there is only one man he despises the most: Dr. Brenner. Therefore, if the Duffer Brothers would bring him back, they would get a chance to distract Vecna as well. However, to know whether what the 63-year-old actor said is true or not, fans will have to wait for the final season to land on Netflix.
