I saw your fan cast for a older mike,,, and now im so curious to know who you would cast for a older will

okay, so, disclaimer, i'd like to say that when it comes to older will, my fancasts are either for his twenties or his forties and fifties. i've yet to find someone in their thirties or that i think fits overall, like dev and louis for mike. :(

that being said, when it comes to will, a few things are important to me: he has to have a boyish quality to him and he should be handsome in a warm, light, soft way. the people that come closest to fitting that bill are...

charles leclerc. he's essentially noah's doppelganger, super boyish, very pretty, and covered in moles, so. hi, will! (btw, could you imagine will with dimples omg...)

charlie rowe. boyish, sweet, and soft. he's also played nerdy characters before, so his mannerisms in some gif sets make me think of will, too. he has more of will's scruffy s1-2 vibes, i think.

louis hofmann, in the parallel universe where the duffers had gone with naomi watts instead of winona and will was thus blond. he and noah are the kings of crying. he has a very pretty-handsome, delicate thing going on, which suits will nicely.

lee pace. he's ripped as fuck now, but he has that handsome, warm, boyish look to him that i was talking about. also, look at those will-approved shorts pls. if he were all-around smaller, he'd be even more perfect.

murray bartlett, especially as frank in the last of us who is basically literally actually 100% will. also, he's what will would look like today because murray's 52. fate? fate!
