Former “Riverdale” and “Palm Springs” star Camila Mendes has scored the role of Teela in the live-action “Masters of the Universe” film at Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films.
Travis Knight directs the film which centers on Price Adam of Eternia who, thanks to his Power Sword, turns into He-Man and is embued with superhuman strength and abilities, which he uses to defend his native planet and Castle Grayskull.
Mendes will join the previously announced Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man. Her character, Teela, is a warrior and Captain of Eternia’s Royal Guard – responsible for protecting the royal family and Prince Adam.
The property is best known for the iconic 1983 animated series which was previously adapted to the big screen in live-action form in the mid-1980s.
The new take on He-Man has long been in development and moved across various studios and streamers. Knight will direct from a screenplay by Chris Butler while Robbie Brenner, Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch are producing.
“Masters of the Universe” will score a worldwide theatrical release on June 5th 2026.
