When Wednesday Addams stares into your soul without blinking and then breaks into a goth dance that launches a thousand TikToks, you know Jenna Ortega has arrived. From her gloriously deadpan expressions to that now-iconic choreography, Ortega became the dark queen of teen television. But behind the scenes, she is also known for something else, something that made her lines feel truer to Wednesday’s twisted heart. And it seems that dedication to character may have just rubbed off on Noah Schnapp.

Noah Schnapp may have taken a page out of Jenna Ortega’s playbook while filming for the final season of Stranger Things.

In a move that immediately sparked déjà vu for Wednesday fans, Noah Schnapp reportedly requested the Duffer Brothers add a brand-new scene for Will Byers that was not originally in the Stranger Things Season 5 script as revealed by Stranger Things Updates on X. Much like Jenna Ortega’s now-famous adjustments to better embody her character, Schnapp is said to have taken a similar creative route, leading to speculation that the Hawkins storyline may be shifting in an unexpected, possibly deeper direction.

While nothing has been confirmed, this behind-the-scenes change has only added more intrigue to the already mysterious upcoming season. With fans still buzzing over Schnapp’s earlier wild warning that Season 5 would leave them truly devastated, this latest rumor has made the wait even more suspenseful. Just what secrets lie ahead in the Upside Down remains, as ever, a tightly held secret.

Of course, when fans are handed a mystery on a silver platter and believe the rumors are true, there is only one question left.

Fans have been tossing around ideas about what Noah Schnapp might have nudged into the Stranger Things Season 5 script. The most obvious theory is that he rewrote a coming out scene for Will Byers, something fans have speculated about for a while. Less obvious guesses include Will making a big sacrifice for Eleven or something completely offbeat, maybe a heartfelt confession of his love for Eggo waffles. Theories, after all, are half the fun.

Whatever the rewrite actually is, it has sparked some extra curiosity among fans without shaking the very foundations of Hawkins. Noah Schnapp’s little tweak might just add a fresh touch, or maybe it is just a fun rumor to keep us all guessing until Stranger Things Season 5 drops.
