“Stranger Things” has become one of the most talked about topics of the last couple of years because of its amazing storyline and cast. However, Noah Schnapp, who plays “Will Byers,” made a series of comments that were unpleasant to the general public, and now they are making boycott calls for his participation in the fifth season.
On January 8, Netflix shared a cast photo to “X” (Formerly known as Twitter) where the surviving characters from the fourth season were featured. The Jewish actor came under fire in late October 2023 because of his declarations about the recent events in the world, which created a massive hate train towards him.
Numerous Netizens remarked Noah killed the hyping atmosphere about the new “Stranger Things” season, and even said he needed to be replaced. As the tension increases on social media, showing outrage towards the actor’s comments, Netflix hasn’t released any statement regarding Noah’s current status in the franchise.
The worrying situation might put Netflix at stake because Noah Schnapp’s role is fundamental to the storytelling of the season. As the season resumed its activities, Netizens around the world strongly believed they needed to boycott the season’s premiere to bring justice to those who cannot speak for themselves.
