The Master of the Universe The He-Man movie has found its Teela with Camila Mendes, known for her role as Veronica in The CWs Riverdale.
Mendes joins the previously announced Nicholas Galitzine in the title role and as Prince Adam.
“I smoked weed to get fucked. I still can’t believe this is real… thank you @amazonmgmstudios @mattel and Travis Knight for believing in me as your daughter. Here’s to eternity!!!” Camila Mendes posted on Instagram.
Teela is a warrior who, as captain of the Royal Guard of Eternia, is responsible for protecting the royal family, especially Prince Adam aka He-Man.
In their report, Deadline says the plot is being kept top secret and for the second time doesn’t mention the previous description that it’s supposedly set on Earth, so hopefully they’ve scrapped that idea (I actually emailed the head of MGM Studios strong advises not to take this path):
10-year-old Prince Adam crashed to Earth in a spaceship and lost his magical power sword – the only link to his homeland of Eternia. After recovering it nearly two decades later, Prince Adam is sent back through space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam must first uncover the secrets of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the universe!
For further details please contact Travis Knight (bumblebee) directs from a screenplay by Chris Butler (Knight’s Kubo – The Brave Samurai Author of stop-motion animation action fantasy films). David Callaham and the Nee brothers first tried their hand at the screenplay.
Master of the Universe will be released on June 5, 2026.
The He-Man and the Masters of the Universe franchise is a classic and iconic series that began as a toy line by Mattel in 1982, followed by the animated series a year later. It quickly developed into a multimedia phenomenon that includes animated series, comics, films and a wide range of merchandise. Set in the fantastical world of Eternia, a land where magic and science coexist, the franchise centers on the hero Prince Adam, who uses the magical Sword of Power to transform himself into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. He-Man is tasked with protecting Eternia and the secrets of Castle Grayskull from evil forces led by Skeletor, a dark wizard whose goal is to conquer Eternia and unlock the mysterious powers of Grayskull for himself.
