In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Noah Schnapp, which plays Will Bayers in "very strange things," commented on rumors about the sexual orientation of his character.
At first, some fans of the series themselves called for the creators to make a gay character, and later the attention of the rest of the audience attracted the incident, which happened in the third season. During the conflict between Will and Mike, the latter cried out:
This is not my fault that you don't like girls!
In the next series Will said:
I never fall in love with anyone.
These two episodes gave rise to theories that Will Bayers or Gay, or Asexual, or his sexuality influenced a meeting with a monster and stay in the inside.
The most obvious version of the fans was not considered, so the Schnapp is reminded of him:
There is no solution to the creators of the series about the sexual orientation of Will. Spectators must solve it for themselves. Some think my character gay, asexual or someone else. But here I see it. He stuck in the wrongness while his friends are adults. When he returned, everyone became older, and he remained a child to whom D & D is more interesting sex. It is not yet ready for maturity and relationship. That's what happens to him.
How will the nature of Will Bayers develop, the audience will learn in the fourth season of the series. The release date of the season is not yet named.
