The ‘Masters of the Universe’ movie is adding another powerful warrior to its ranks. Camila Mendes, known for her role in ‘Riverdale,’ has been cast as Teela, the skilled warrior and Captain of Eternia’s Royal Guard. She will be joining previously announced cast member Nicholas Galitzine, who is set to portray Prince Adam, the secret identity of the universe’s most powerful man, He-Man.
While the specifics of the plot are being kept under wraps, the film will likely follow the classic He-Man story. Prince Adam, with the aid of his magical Power Sword, transforms into He-Man and uses his superhuman abilities to protect Eternia from the evil Skeletor and his armies. Teela, a skilled inventor and warrior, is responsible for safeguarding the royal family and is often depicted as a close confidante to Prince Adam.
Whether the romantic relationship between Teela and Prince Adam, present in previous versions of the story, will be included in the live-action adaptation remains to be seen. Fans will have to wait for further updates to find out more about the film’s direction and the specific role Teela will play in He-Man’s journey to protect Eternia.
