A wide ensemble of endearing characters, including Hopper, Steve, Eleven, Dustin, the Mindflayer, and Vecna, can be found in the well-liked Netflix series Stranger Things. But the main force behind the plot of the program is Will Byers, a young kidnapped child who leads his family and friends to learn about extraterrestrial life and government cover-ups. Byers is a beloved character in the series and his kidnapping serves as a catalyst for the show's development.
The focus of Stranger Things' upcoming final season is on Will Byers, who is a pivotal figure in the struggle against Vecna's designs for Hawkins and the heroes who stand in his way. Eleven is a strong candidate, but Will could play a big part in putting an end to Vecna and sparing the planet from the Upside-Down.
Will's experience so far with Stranger Things
A Demogorgon captured a meek and reserved child named Will Byers. A number of unexplained incidents would follow the mystery surrounding his disappearance. It was discovered that Hawkins Laboratory was the source of the rift that connected the Upside Down to our world. In their quest to save Will's life, Will's mother Joyce and Sheriff Hopper discover the truth about the Demogorgon and the events that transpired.
It was shown in the second season that Will did not make a full recovery. Through his adventures, he developed a psychic connection with the Mind Flayer, an entity from the Upside Down. The Mind Flayer, a massive, hideous being that can communicate with other Upside Down monsters via a shared mind-link, tried to take control of Will in an attempt to invade our planet. Together, Eleven, Hopper, and his friends and family were able to free Will from the beast and seal the rift once more.
In season three, Will fights with his pals who mature more quickly and tries to hold onto his childhood. When Billy gets possessed, he stays in contact with the Upside Down and the Mind Flayer, identifying the spreading sickness in Hawkins. Will and his family relocate to California after rescuing Hawkins. Will battles his sexuality, his affections for Mike, and his role in finding Eleven and stopping Vecna in season 4. Vecna's schemes succeed in spite of them, and Will detects the Upside Down invading Hawkins.

Will is the key that will stop Vecna?
After going missing for 12 hours in a parallel universe, Vecna, also referred to as Henry Creel, acquires abilities in season 4 and brings the Mind Flayer back. This is similar to Will's story in that Will has family and friends who help him get rid of the monster, but Henry is corrupted and becomes a potential killer.
When Henry's abilities got out of control, Dr. Brenner, his caregiver, had to chip him. Eleven was one of the youngsters used in the tests, and they went on until Henry got hold of them and killed everyone but Brenner and Eleven. But Eleven was so appalled that he sent Henry to the Upside Down, where he transformed into the scarred monster Vecna.
Will Byer and Henry Creel, who are both linked to the Upside Down's collective mind, may have the secret to stopping Vecna. It's possible that Will, like Vecna, has abilities to change and mold the energies of the Upside Down as a result of his traumas there. The writers of Stranger Things might arrange a terrible conflict between Eleven, Vecna, and Will. Vecna might see Will as the youngster he never had the chance to grow up to be or as the last vessel he needs to use to enter our planet. Will has the ability or solution to permanently halt Vecna.
Eddie Munson is a potential new humanoid villain in Season 5 of Stranger Things. This can quicken the pacing of the program and increase the Hawkins gang's emotional commitment. The Hawkins would be experiencing internal strife as their favorite character Eddie would be working with Vecna. They had to choose between fighting Eddie/Kas and figuring out how to get him away from Vecna's control. The emotional attachment to the Eddie Munson/Kas idea has prevented it from gaining much traction online.
Despite not being viewed as villains, Vecna may use Eleven's close relationship with the Upside Down to turn him against other people. Will and Eleven share this link. The hideous and altered monsters from the Upside Down, however, are Stranger Things' main draw. There are countless ways to create animal versions of Upside Down monsters, and although humanoid enemies can be interesting, the program also has a good number of hideous and altered monsters.
The Duffer brothers are thinking that Eleven, Vecna, or another humanoid creature could have a more complicated history. Given that Stranger Things is primarily about monsters, they ought to build on Vecna's popularity by developing a terrifying yet endearing antagonist. A fresh wave of monsters may be the ideal way to conclude Season 5, making sure that fans have an experience they won't soon forget.
