"If the right project comes that I feel really resonates, then I will,"
"I don't want to just do anything. Because it's so personal to me, I've been a little more picky with those kinds of projects. I want it to really resonate and mean something, and not just be another one for whatever diversity points. But I'm absolutely open to that,"
"I've been holding it in for so long, so I've been looking forward to the day this all drops. It's so touching and empowering. So getting to inspire a lot of people, and maybe even in the queer community for people to feel empowered to be themselves, I just can't wait to see how it touches people, and if it does,"
Noah Schnapp rose to international fame portraying Will Byers on Stranger Things. Will Byers was confirmed as gay in season four (2022) and season five will explore his sexuality further, returning him to a central storyline. Many fans anticipate a potential romance between Will and Mike Wheeler. Schnapp publicly came out as gay in early 2023 and noted personal similarities to the character. Schnapp will be selective about taking future LGBTQ+ roles, preferring projects that genuinely resonate and avoiding portrayals that exist merely for diversity points. Schnapp hopes the season five ending will feel empowering and inspire queer viewers.
