De-aged Will Encounters the Demogorgon

The scene opens with a CGI-de-aged Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) running from a tree-climbing Demogorgon. The creature interrupts Will’s terror by calmly singing The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Despite being shot in the face, the Demogorgon shrugs it off and even climbs trees, surprising both Will and the audience.

After leaping between trees, Will falls and loses consciousness. The Demogorgon then drags his limp body back to Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), who lurks in the shadows orchestrating events.

“The Demogorgon, news to everyone, including the abject horror of Will, can also climb trees.”
“We then see what happened to Will in the lag time of his forced nap. There, the Demogorgon drags his limp body back to Vecna... because he was always there, you see.”

Conclusion

This teaser mixes nostalgia with eerie new details, setting the tone for the final chapter of the iconic series.
