How are Will and Vecna connected?
As Vecna controls the Mind Flayer, this means it was him all along who was talking to Will.
Additionally, in season one, Vecna chose to kidnap Will, whom he saw as much like himself with both boys described as “sensitive” in the show.
As a child Henry Creel/Vecna (Raphael Luce) seemed much like Will, both were shy and withdrawn types.
However, Henry/Vecna had a dark side to him thanks to his powers and used them to punish his family, whom he had believed were bad people.
Will, on the other hand, is kind and caring but most importantly doesn’t have powers.
There have been theories Vecna will possess Will while he remains the Upside Down to carry out his plans for world domination.
Artwork has also emerged with Will appearing to be in the thrall of Vecna as well as suffering from nosebleeds - something which only happens to those who have powers.
This connection is expected to be explored in further detail in season five when the kids of Hawkins will face their final reckoning with Vecna.
