Actor Noah Schnapp, who plays Will on “Stranger Things,” confirmed what everyone understood in the fourth season of the series. His character is really in love with Mike, his best friend, played by Finn Wolfhard.
After stating that the teen’s sexuality would be open to public interpretation, he said the scenes shown at the end of the season leave no room for doubt.
“It has been pretty clear this season that Will has feelings for Mike,” the actor confirmed in an interview with Variety.
Schnapp says the Duffer brothers, creators of the series, “have intentionally reiterated this in recent seasons.” But he remembers that, “since the 1st season, there was already the suggestion and, little by little, this plot has grown”.
“In season 4, I just played him as someone who loves his best friend but struggles with whether or not he can be reciprocated, feeling like it’s a mistake and like it doesn’t fit in there. Will has always felt that way.”
“All of his friends, they all have girlfriends and they all fit into their different clubs. Will has never found a place to fit in. I think that’s why so many people come to me and tell me they love Will and yeah they identify so much with him. him, because he’s a very real character, “said Schnapp.
She said she spent the whole day crying to record the scene where Will confesses to Mike, despite referring to Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) feelings.
“I remember when I was shooting the scene, I was crying, like, giving it my all all day. And when I saw it on screen, it was really more subtle. I liked the way they edited it,” he assured. . “The day was a lot of fun. I love playing Will. That scene was really important to him because it really cemented that truth, that he loves his best friend and doesn’t know how to tell him.”
With the series ending confirmed in season five, Schnapp is eager to find out how the story will resolve Will’s feelings for Mike, as the two have drifted further apart and Wolfhard’s character seems to be increasingly in love with Eleven.
“In season 2, they were best friends and they were very close, so obviously Mike kept an eye on Eleven. Will had to deal with a bit of jealousy there. He just wants his best friend back and wants it to be that way it was in season one. , when they were playing D&D in their basement, “he reflected.
“But Mike is getting over it and now he only cares about Eleven. I’m just interested to see where the Duffers go with this in Season 5 and how they end this story.”
