Thanks to the actor’s inclusion, a fan theory has emerged linking the smash-hit Netflix series Stranger Things and Sheriff Hopper with Black Widow.
Someone who is coming along for the ride is Stranger Things star David Harbour as Natasha Romanoff’s friend and team-mate Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian.
Could Hopper, trying to remain anonymous in Russia have assumed his old friend’s name to honor his memory in Black Widow?
There is also the interesting coincidence that David Harbour’s character in Black Widow is named Alexei Shostakov.
