The second volume of the fourth season of “Stranger Things” premiered on July 1st. Fifteen days later, information continues to come out that is giving a lot to talk about among fans of the series. With his recent 13 Emmy Award nominations, Hawkins youngsters can boast of having starred in one of the biggest hits in Netflix history.
On this occasion, Noah Schnapp confirmed one of the strongest theories that emerged on social media following the end of this last season. During an interview for Variety, the 17-year-old actor has assured that his character, Will Byers, is gay and that he is in love with his best friend Mike (Finn Wolfhard): “It is now 100% clear that Will is gay and loves Mike.”. Additionally, Schnapp said many people identify with Will. The actor told an anecdote that happened to him in Paris when a 40-year-old man approached him and told him the following: “Will’s character made me feel so good. That’s exactly what I went through as a kid. It made me so happy to hear that. They’re writing this character and this journey in a real way, and his real struggle, and they “I’m doing it.” very well “.
Will’s theories on homosexuality came to a head when he had an emotional talk with Mike about Mike’s own importance to the people who love him.. In that conversation, Will tells his best friend how Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) feels about him, but he was actually describing how he felt himself. Schnapp pointed out that there were hints of Will’s sexuality from season one, but that he too neglected them until he talked to brothers Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer.. After this interview with the creators, he thought about it and realized how many details he hadn’t paid enough attention to. “Years ago, in Season 1, I didn’t know where the Duffers wanted to go with this character. So I was trying to figure it out with the audience. Now I’ve talked to them and watched the show, I know what they want to do with him.”.
He will be a key player next season
On the other hand, Schnapp claims that the Duffer brothers have assured him that Will will once again be the main focus of the next season.. “There are so many different things they have to deal with. Obviously, we can’t wait for a coming out scene and to see them deal with this connection with the Mind Flayer and how it fits into the world. And I’ve always wondered why Will was. the first victim and the first captured. I just want to see that everything is related and everything works “. Will had played a pivotal role during the first few seasons due to his passing and his connection with The Upside Down World. However, during the last few deliveries his character has lost a lot of prominence.
