  • ‘Stranger Things 4’ Star Noah Schnapp Reacts to Will’s Sexuality & his Feelings for Mike

    Stranger Things 4 is packed with surprising twists and events, and one of the big revelations this season is that Will Byers is actually gay and that he’s in love with his best friend, Mike.

    While huge hints were already being dropped earlier this season, the show finally made it evident to viewers during the car scene in Volume 2 where Will showed his painting to Mike. He went on to assure his friend that Eleven will always be needing him despite his many doubts about their relationship. When Will starts to burst into tears, fans were finally convinced that his evident pain is tied to Mike and Eleven’s relationship, because he had romantic feelings for his friend.

    In an interview with Variety, actor Noah Schnapp further confirmed the revelation about his character in the show, and shared his thoughts on Will’s character arc.

    “Obviously, 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,” said Schnapp. “Now it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike. But before, it was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully because it’s so easy to make a character just like, all of a sudden be gay.”

    According to Schnapp, it was only recently that the show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, talked to him about Will and his sexuality. “Years ago in Season 1, I didn’t know where the Duffers wanted to go with this character,” he said. “So I was kind of figuring it out along with the audience. But now that I’ve spoken to them and seen the show, I know what they want to do with it. They obviously don’t tell me anything, either. I’m always spoiling stuff, so they will never share anything with me. So it’s a lot of figuring it out on my own. And kind of realizing later on, like, ‘Oh this makes sense and this was intentional.’”

    The actor also shared a heartwarming encounter he had with a fan regarding Stranger Things 4. “People have come up to me – I was just in Paris and this, like, 40-year-old man came up to me and he was like, ‘Wow, 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.”

    Stranger Things 4 is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.

  • WATCH: Vecna Actor Apologizes to Eddie Munson for ‘Stranger Things 4’ Finale

    Stranger Things‘ Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Vecna in the show, is seeking forgiveness from Eddie Munson’s actor Joseph Quinn and his fans for killing off the character in the season four finale.

    In a video released by Netflix, Bower and Quinn go face to face, with the former making a humorous apology for Vecna’s behavior during the latest season of the show. Watch the clip below:

    “Today, I’m here to apologize,” says Bower. “But my apology isn’t just for you. It’s for the main victim of all this.” Joseph Quinn enters the scene to face Bower, who continues to do his spiel. While it seems like Quinn isn’t ready to accept his apology, Vecna’s actor gives him a gift which he happily accepts.

    In the finale of Stranger Things 4, the misunderstood Hellfire Club founder Eddie Munson sacrificed himself to further distract Vecna’s Demobats, following his epic performance of Metallica’s Master of Puppets in the Upside Down. In the end, the gang won against Vecna but not without consequences. Besides Eddie losing his life, Max almost lost hers while the Upside Down seems to continue to bleed through Hawkins.

    Stranger Things is set to have its epic conclusion next season, but details about its release are yet to be announced. Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things also stars Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Sadie Sink. You can stream all four seasons of Stranger Things exclusively on Netflix.

  • New ‘Death Note’ Adaptation from ‘Stranger Things’ Creators Announced by Netflix

    Netflix is making another attempt to adapt the hit manga and anime series Death Note, this time into a live-action TV show!

    This comes with the announcement that the Duffer Brothers, creators of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, will be producing more titles through their new production company Upside Down Pictures. Among their slate of projects in active development is the live-action adaptation of the renowned title from Japan.

    This will be Netflix’s second attempt at adapting the series following their highly-criticized 2017 film of the same name directed by Adam Wingard. Considering the success of Stranger Things, this will stir excitement from both fandoms.

    Created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows the story of the high school student Light Yagami, who picks up a notebook that could kill people just by writing their names on its pages. Having a strong sense of righteousness, Light uses it to rid the world of criminals while his identity was kept under the name Kira. He soon captures the attention of the world’s greatest detective, a mysterious figure only known as L, who taunts him into a battle of wits where the winner will be the one to uphold their take on justice.

    More details about the new Death Note adaptation are yet to be revealed. Upside Down Pictures’ slate of projects also includes an adaptation of Stephen King and Peter Straub‘s The Talisman, a new stage play set within the world and mythology of Stranger Things, and a Stranger Things spin-off series.

  • ‘Stranger Things 4’ Writers Reveal Some Unscripted Moments from the Season

    After releasing the explosive and emotional last two episodes of Stranger Things 4 last Friday, the writers of the hit Netflix series have revealed to fans some of the unscripted moments from this season.

    Through their Twitter account, the writers shared three scenes where the cast members improvised. Check them out below (Spoilers Alert!):

    Viewers were quick to get attached to the new character, Eddie Munson, the misunderstood leader of the Hellfire Club. This made his demise even more painful to watch, with Dustin listening to his last words about finally getting that diploma. According to the Stranger Things writers, that last phrase “I love you, man” was actually improvised by actor Joseph Quinn.

    Another emotional scene from the finale was Lucas holding Max’s dying body after suffering from Vecna’s curse. The writers revealed that the elder Sinclair’s desperate plea “Erica, help” was actually improvised by actor Caleb McLaughlin.

    Finally, the writers also shared that the kiss between Joyce and Hopper was not part of the script, and was only added in by stars David Harbour and Winona Ryder during filming.

    Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things 4 follows Eleven and the gang as they battle another threat from the Upside Down– Vecna. This monster uses its victims’ dark past to kill them for a sinister purpose that could endanger everyone in Hawkins.
