Schnapp noted that in the Season 5 marketing materials, Will is positioned above Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown. This visual choice suggests Will’s emerging, previously dormant powers. “Everything is very intentional that we do,” Schnapp emphasized, hinting at the poster’s deeper meaning.
Climactic Moments in Season 5
In the initial episodes of Season 5, viewers observe a dire situation as Demogorgons threaten a military base. Will and his companions are attempting an escape while Eleven is trapped in the Upside Down. In a dramatic turn, Will unexpectedly displays telekinetic control over the Demogorgons when they suddenly come to a halt and start to disintegrate. This moment is pivotal as it signifies Will’s newfound strength.
Significant Character Development
As the episode “Chapter Four: Sorcerer” concludes, Will experiences a side effect akin to Eleven’s powers, exemplified by blood dripping from his nose.
