Duffer Brothers Reveal Will’s Key Role Against Vecna in New Clip

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Duffer Brothers unveiled an exclusive clip from the highly anticipated Stranger Things Season 5 Vol 2. This new footage highlights how Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, who developed abilities in Volume 1, may play a pivotal role in defeating the formidable antagonist, Vecna. The ongoing conflict between Will and Vecna has emerged as a central storyline in this acclaimed mystery sci-fi series.

Clip Reveals Strategic Plans Against Vecna

The Duffer Brothers engaged in discussions about the unexpected success of Stranger Things and the myriad fan theories circulating online. In a light-hearted segment, they participated in a game with Fallon that teased elements of the season’s conclusion. The highlight of the segment came when Fallon presented a never-before-seen clip from Season 5 Vol 2.

This clip features Joyce Byers, portrayed by Winona Ryder, strategizing with Will, Mike, Lucas, Erica, Robin, and Murray about a plan to eliminate Vecna. Joyce proposes that they should approach the Hive Mind, suggesting Will “jack back in” to utilize his powers. She emphasizes that rather than targeting the Demogorgon this time, Will should aim to destroy Vecna and his army in “one blow.”

Joyce’s proposal prompts a moment of silence among the group, with Robin, played by Maya Hawke, tentatively affirming the plan before seeking Murray’s input. Murray, portrayed by Brett Gelman, agrees but with some uncertainty. The conversation shifts as Robin inquires whether Will had previously used his powers to defeat the Demogorgon that threatened their lives at the end of Volume 1. Before Will can respond, Mike interjects, noting that Will had taken down three Demogorgons, which sparks a brief discussion about Will’s evolving abilities.

The clip showcases not just the tension of their mission but also the camaraderie and challenges faced by the group as they prepare to confront Vecna once more. Joyce’s insistence on focusing the team’s efforts underscores the stakes involved in their battle against the supernatural threat.

Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 is set to premiere on December 25, 2025, with the finale scheduled for December 31, 2025. Fans eagerly anticipate how the storyline will unfold, especially regarding Will’s development and his confrontation with Vecna.
