David Harbour’s Hopes for Jim Hopper
In an interview with Total Film, Harbour shared his desires for his character as the show nears its end. Of course, just like fans, the actor wants Hopper to survive. “It’s funny. I believe in a fundamental morality in storytelling and that characters should get what they deserve. Which is more complex than just smiles,” he said. “But I certainly think that Hopper is someone who’s been through a lot. I think he deserves peace, so I’d like to see that achieved.” ALSO READ: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 16: David Hornsby Hints at Return But with One Condition + Ryan Reynolds’ Possible Appearance However, he knows his character’s future still depends on the creators, Matt and Ross Duffer. “But the real question you have to ask yourself is: are the Duffers Dickensian? Or are they Kafka-esque?” he continued. “Do they believe in the big turkey dinner at the end of A Christmas Carol? I wonder myself, you know? I’m very curious to see how it unfolds.”
Hopper’s ‘Cursed’ Fate
True enough, Hopper has been through a lot across the series’ four seasons. He was recently held captive in a Russian prison and even tortured before Joyce (Winona Ryder), and Murray (Brett Gelman) saved him and brought him back to Hawkins. Everything he has been through made him believe he has a “cursed fate,” citing all the incidents that have happened throughout his life.
