Many fans have suggested that the latest season has hinted towards Will (Noah Schnapp) being queer, and perhaps having romantic feelings toward Mike (Finn Wolfhard).
Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard has addressed the speculation that his character Will may be gay.
Others, however, have proposed that perhaps Will’s “jealousy” of Mike and Eleven’s relationship may stem from romantic feelings that he has towards Eleven instead.
I think you find out slowly through the season, Will’s kind of love towards Mike and I think it’s a really beautiful thing.”
