Stranger Things<\/em> fans are on high alert as the final season inches closer, and one of the biggest questions sitting at the top of the panic pile right now is whether Lucas Sinclair meets a tragic end<\/a>. Theories were already swirling, but things kicked into overdrive after Caleb McLaughlin<\/strong> made an eyebrow raising comment during a recent interview with costars Finn Wolfhard<\/strong>, Gaten Matarazzo<\/strong> and Noah Schnapp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n RELATED: How Old Every \u2018Stranger Things\u2019 Character Is in Season 5<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n So does Lucas die in Stranger Things 5<\/em> or is this just another expertly placed bit of misdirection before the finale drops? Here’s everything fans are buzzing about.<\/p>\n The cast was talking about which episode or scene was the hardest to film during the promo tour.<\/p>\n \u201cThe finale I would say generally was the hardest thing to film for sure, and it’s annoying because we can’t really talk about it,\u201d Wolfhard admitted in an interview clip<\/a> shared by a fan via X on November 13.<\/p>\n Schnapp and Matarazzo agreed, but McLaughlin didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n Instead, he casually dropped the line that launched a thousand theories: \u201cMy finale was different, so I don’t know.\u201d<\/p>\n Wolfhard immediately asked, \u201cIs that episode 9?\u201d and the rest of the cast laughed like maybe McLaughlin was kidding.<\/p>\n The problem is that fans aren\u2019t convinced he was joking at all. While viewers won\u2019t know Lucas\u2019 fate for sure until the final season premieres in just a few days, if he didn\u2019t share the same finale as everyone else, what does that actually mean for him?<\/p>\n The interview clip exploded across social media because it taps right into what viewers are already afraid of. The Duffers have said the stakes are higher than ever and that the final season won\u2019t spare everyone. Fans just didn\u2019t expect Lucas to suddenly be at the center of the danger.<\/p>\nDoes Lucas Die in ‘Stranger Things 5’?<\/h2>\n
