Stranger Things: Noah Schnapp Confirms Key Will Byers Theory - IGN

Spoiler Warning: This post contains spoilers for both parts of Stranger Things Season 4.

Stranger Things pulled no punches with its emotional moments in Season 4. Today, in an interview with Variety, Noah Schnapp confirmed something that fans have long speculated: Will is gay.

“It was hinted at in Season 1. It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends? Now that he’s gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing. Now it’s 100% clear he is gay and does love Mike,” Schnapp said.

Netflix Spotlight: July 2022

There’s been much speculation over the years about Will’s sexuality, including a scene in Season 3 that hints toward it. This most recent season, however, delivered a one two punch in an emotional scene where Will explains to Mike Eleven’s feelings, which actually mirror his own.

As the scene ends, Will turns away from Mike and sobs silently. It’s a heartbreaking, nuanced, and emotional scene that has resonated with many. Schnapp explains that he’s had fans come up to him and express their appreciation for Will’s character.

“People have come up to me [and said,] ‘This Will character made me feel so good. And I related to it so much. That is exactly who I was when I was a kid.’ That just made me so happy to hear. They are writing this real character and this real journey and real struggle and they’re doing it so well.”

Schnapp teases he called the Duffer Brothers a few weeks ago and asked what’s next for Will, saying “Obviously, we hope for a coming out scene, and I also want to see them address this connection to the Mind Flayer and how that fits into the world.”

Based on some of the final moments in Season 4, we can expect Will to feature more heavily as we know he has some sort of connection to Vecna. Season 4 will have many questions to answer including what’s going on with Max, who was nearly killed off, and will the Upside Down’s hardest rocker Eddie Munson ever get his name cleared?

Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
