Nostalgic Opening Scene
The preview starts by evoking nostalgia instead of using modern cast reactions. It takes place in November 1983, the year when the first season unfolds.
Will Byers and the Demogorgon Encounter
- Will Byers, portrayed by a CGI-de-aged Noah Schnapp with a bowl-cut hairstyle, is terrified by the Demogorgon.
- The Demogorgon calms Will by singing The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go."
- The creature surprisingly shrugs off a gunshot to the face.
- It reveals a new skill: the ability to climb trees.
- After jumping between trees, Will falls and loses consciousness.
Aftermath of Will's Fall
While Will is unconscious, the Demogorgon drags his body back to Vecna, who is shown lurking in the shadows, orchestrating events.
"The Demogorgon drags his limp body back to Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), because he was always there, you see."
