The Stranger Things Season 5 trailer hints at a major shift in Eleven’s powers. A striking moment shows her making an extraordinary leap, raising questions about whether she has developed a new ability beyond what fans have seen before.
Can Eleven fly in Stranger Things Season 5 teaser trailer?
The Stranger Things Season 5 teaser trailer shows Eleven leaping an extraordinary distance onto the roof of a bus around the 2:02 mark, suggesting she may now possess a new power: flight. This marks a major development beyond her previously established powers of telekinesis, telepathy, remote viewing, and resurrection.
In past seasons, Eleven levitated only when extreme telekinetic force overwhelmed her, such as when she closed the gate in Season 2. These moments reflected intense psionic strain rather than controlled flight. In contrast, the leap in the new trailer appears deliberate and physically impossible without a new ability.
This ability emerges after a time jump in the series timeline. Following her near-death battle with Vecna and recovery at the Nina Project, Eleven expanded her powers. In Season 4, Vecna killed Max during their confrontation. Eleven used her psionic energy to restart Max’s heart, hinting at an early form of resurrection.
The trailer doesn’t show Eleven flying through the air, but her leap could signal the start of true flight, since both involve advanced telekinetic control. No other Hawkins Lab children displayed this ability in Season 4 flashbacks, suggesting it may be unique to Eleven.
Vecna, despite his advanced abilities, has never exhibited conscious levitation. His hovering relies on the vines fused to his body, rather than telekinetic self-suspension. This gives Eleven a unique advantage in their rematch.
Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1 premieres November 26, with Volume 2 dropping on December 25 and the finale on December 31, 2025. The trailer indicates that Eleven’s upgraded powers may be central to the final battle for Hawkins.
