The Duffer brothers have unveiled a major plot twist for "Stranger Things" Season 5 Volume 1, revealing that Will Byers will embrace the role of a sorcerer. A table read video showcased the cast's stunned reactions to this development. In the climactic battle of Volume 1, Will demonstrates his newfound abilities by vanquishing a Demogorgon army and stopping Vecna.

This allows him to manipulate monsters, though he cannot open gates like Eleven. The revelation comes as the first four episodes are now available on Netflix.
