‘ Stranger Things’ Will Byers is Gay Confirms Noah Schnapp
Posted By: Tristan Zeldenon: July 15, 2022In: Netflix, News, TVTags: Noah Schnapp, Stranger ThingsNo Comments Print Email Much speculation about Stranger Things character Will Byers being gay has come about over the years. Now, Noah Schnapp, who plays the character, has confirmed the character’s sexuality in an interview with Variety. This is a shift from his original statement that it was “up to the audience’s interpretation.” To the actor, the hints were there from the first season. To him, the reasoning behind how Stranger Things portrayed Will Byers with his struggle of coming out was from him getting older. In this, he also confirmed that he has feelings for his best friend Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard). “It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends?” he said. “Now that he’s gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing. Now it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike. But before, it was a slow arc.” Noah Schnapp confirms Stranger Things character Will Byers is Gay
Season 4 was going to handle his sexuality in more subtle ways, but plans changed as production moved forward. In a scene in the van with his costars, the emotion and protectiveness shown by him toward Mike popped an idea in the Duffer Brothers’ heads. In a later scene of Stranger Things, Will Byers has an encouraging conversation with his brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), who tells him that he accepts him for who he is without explicitly saying the words about his sexuality. “So this scene was actually not originally written in the script. It was only until after I did the scene of me in the van, where they saw me crying and the protectiveness that you see with Jonathan looking in the rearview mirror. They were like, we need a scene with that. So they wrote it as we were filming. It’s also very important for people to see that Will is not alone — because all we ever see of him is struggling and feeling depressed and that he can’t be himself.” Fans debated how Stranger Things handled Will Byers being gay as the season progressed. LGBT representation has been a major push in TV and film, but not all have gotten it right. Some have avoided tackling it up front, similar to the sci-fi Netflix series. Others have been more positive about its subtly as the show is based in the 80s, a time that could lead to hostile shakeups in people’s lives if they came out. While it is being more accepted now, the show using its setting could be seen as a benefit. But, of course, it is up to the viewer to decipher hints and internalize how they feel about a show’s execution of something like a character struggling with their sexuality.
