I would imagine Mike is going to be totally accepting of Will, and I really want Will to have a really happy ending. And I think he will.”
“What’s going to be so awesome about season five is that the Duffers are sort of trying to thread this needle of trying to get every character to have their perfect ending,” Wolfhard continued. “So I’m excited to see what finally ends up occurring.” Us, too.
