Stranger Things hints at return of Eleven’s “Papa” in new teaser

We might see the return of Matthew Modine's Dr. Martin Brenner in Stranger Things S4.

Our favorite psychokinetic, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), might be confronting her childhood tormenter and "Papa," Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine), in the fourth season of Stranger Things, based on a brief one-minute teaser that was just released.
