Spoiler alert! This story discusses major spoilers from Stranger Things Season 5<\/a>\u2019s first four episodes. Stream them with your Netflix subscription<\/a> if you need to catch up.<\/p>\n

Stranger Things<\/a> has officially returned to the 2025 TV schedule<\/a> for a fifth and final battle with the monsters of the Upside Down. Volume 1, which hit the Netflix calendar<\/a> more than three years after Season 4\u2019s dramatic conclusion, ended on a huge revelation regarding Will Byers<\/a> and his connection to Vecna after being abducted back in Season 1. Noah Schnapp discussed the big plot twist and the clue that was dropped for fans on the Season 5 poster.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Hawkins heroes find themselves in quite a bind at the end of Season 5\u2019s four-episode first drop, as Vecna appears, taunting Will for being weak before unleashing Demogorgons on him and his friends. However, Will is able to harness powers he never knew he had to stop the monsters in Vecna\u2019s signature bone-breaking style and save everyone. Looking back at the poster for the final season<\/a>, is Will\u2019s placement a big clue about what\u2019s to come? Noah Schnapp told Glamour<\/a>:<\/p>\n

You may like<\/p>\n

Yeah. It\u2019s always supposed to kind of feel the vibe of the season and give an essence of where everyone\u2019s characters stand in that era and chapter of our story. So yeah, you can see a strength in him on there. And obviously, they didn\u2019t want to spoil it with any blood or anything, but as close as you can get. Everything is very intentional that we do.<\/p>\n

The poster may not go so far as to reveal that Will holds powers similar to Eleven\u2019s \u2014 including the ever-present nosebleed when tapping into them \u2014 but there\u2019s definitely something to be taken from how the characters are positioned. Take a look at the poster to refresh your memory:<\/p>\n

While Millie Bobby Brown<\/a> is front-and-center on the poster, second in size only to Vecna, Noah Schnapp\u2019s character is directly above hers, only slightly smaller and \u2014 possibly most importantly \u2014 rising above everyone else to be positioned close to the humanoid monster.<\/p>\n

As the actor pointed out, there is a new strength in Will\u2019s eyes that we haven\u2019t seen in past seasons and, while everyone else is standing at an angle, he and Eleven are the only ones facing straight ahead.<\/p>\n

I admittedly hadn\u2019t looked too closely for these kinds of details in the key art ahead of the season \u2014 I was even wary of watching the Season 5 trailer, which teased a big Will moment<\/a> \u2014 but yeah, it definitely seems like there are some clues there for us to pick up on.<\/p>\n

Noah Schnapp may not have gotten the credit he deserves<\/a> for his performance thus far as Will Byers, but I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s to come in Season 5, including how he continues to tap into these Eleven-like powers. Volume 2 is coming to Netflix on Christmas Day<\/a>, consisting of three episodes, while the eighth and final episode of Stranger Things drops a week later on December 31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spoiler alert!
