Ever since she came into the lives of Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Will Byers and Lucas Sinclair, the mysterious girl known as Eleven has always been a little different. Particularly since she grew up in a lab, where her telekinetic powers were stoked, poked, and prodded. Over the course of the series, Millie Bobby Brown\u2019s shaven-headed hero has used her mind to flip trucks, interface with inter-dimensional rifts, communicate with other psyches, and face down the most terrifying beasts of the Upside Down. And now, as she faces her final fight against Vecna in Stranger Things 5<\/a>, Eleven is taking things up another level. (Twelve?)<\/p>\n

Following the events of Stranger Things 4<\/a> \u2013 which teed up an almighty endgame for our heroes in its finale, as the boundary between the Upside Down and Hawkins disintegrated \u2013 Eleven has been hard at work. She \u201chas been in training when we met her,\u201d co-creator Ross Duffer tells Empire in our Stranger Things 5 issue<\/a>. \u201cShe\u2019s not suddenly like Neo<\/a> or Superman, flying through the sky, but she\u2019s definitely stronger now.\u201d Just see the exclusive image below, which sees her leaping over a bus; you can see Brown preparing for the stunt above too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Get ready for an Eleven who \u2013 to borrow some Star Wars<\/a> terminology \u2013 is moving further away from Padawan status. \u201cShe has better control over her powers and can use them in more innovative ways,\u201d Matt Duffer teases. \u201cThe closest example, I\u2019d say, is probably the Force.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Brown, the real power of Eleven \u2013 and the rest of Stranger Things\u2019 beloved characters \u2013 is in the meaning they hold for the fans. \u201cI think the show\u2019s legacy will be the impact it\u2019s had on other people, not us,\u201d she reflects as the series comes to an end. \u201cHow it has encouraged them to just be themselves. That\u2019s everything. That is so, so special.\u201d Friends (and Millie Bobby Brown) don\u2019t lie.<\/p>\n
