If you got the feeling in the Stranger Things finale that Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) was going to have a final heroic hurrah during his final talk with Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), then don’t be alarmed. The Duffer Brothers had recently admitted to playing with the idea until realizing that, in the end, he'd passed the point of no return and had to get the chop.
While the Duffer Brothers had revealed that they’d taken a lot of inspiration from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in terms of wrapping things up, they came close to pulling from Return of the Jedi, as well. In an interview with Netflix Tudum, Ross Duffer broke down why there was no going back for Henry Creel.
