MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Set Video and Photos Reveal Camila Mendes Suited-Up as Teela — GeekTyrant
Things are heating up on the set of Masters of the Universe , and thanks to some fresh footage out of London, fans are finally getting a peek at Camila Mendes in full Teela mode. The Riverdale star was spotted filming a few action-heavy scenes alongside Nicholas Galitzine, who's wielding the iconic Power Sword as Prince Adam. It looks like we're getting a version of the story where Teela comes to Earth to track down a memory-wiped Adam and pull him back to Eternia, where destiny awaits him in full He-Man glory. Teela has been a central figure in the Masters of the Universe franchise, often portrayed as both Prince Adam's protector and He-Man's most trusted ally (and, sometimes, love interest). In this new take, she's still the daughter of Duncan, a.k.a. Man-At-Arms, played here by Idris Elba. Fans of the franchise will remember Chelsea Field's turn as Teela in the 1987 film, and Sarah Michelle Gellar's voice work in Masters of the Universe: Revelation until the mic was passed to Melissa Benoist for Season 2. Mendes now picks up the torch in this big-screen reboot, and her look seems to strike a balance between tradition and reinvention. Her outfit nods to the classic white-and-gold palette of the original animated series, but adds some modern armor-style flourishes. I want to be excited about this movie, but the fact that the creative team once again set it on Earth is so disappointing. A behind the scenes look at the film was shared at Cinema-Con, and it teased the tone, look, and scale director Travis Knight is going for. The movie looks like its aiming to be the definitive live-action take on the franchise and it was enough to stir up excitement, especially for longtime fans of the franchise. The film is said to introduce Adam as an ordinary man, working "a boring office job" in the 'real world.' The Masters of the Universe stories are merely tales Adam heard as a little kid. The leaked synopsis reads: '10-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. 'After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. 'But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe!' The script was was written by Chris Butler ( ParaNorman ), and it builds on an earlier draft by David Callaham ( Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ). Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, and DeVon Franklin are producing. The movie also stars Alison Brie ( Community ) as Evil-Lyn, while Jared Leto ( Blade Runner 2049 ) will play the villain Skeletor. Then there's Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, and Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops. Check out the set video and photos at the links below—and let the speculation begin: are we finally getting the Masters of the Universe movie we deserve?

First look at Camila Mendes as warrior goddess Teela as she films new scenes for upcoming Masters Of The Universe reboot alongside Nicholas Galitzine's He-Man
Camila Mendes looked incredible as she was seen for the first time shooting scenes for her new upcoming live action remake of 1987's Masters Of The Universe in London. The Riverdale icon, 30, looked every inch of the superwoman as she transformed into warrior goddess Teela. For the hotly-anticipated He-Man movie, she was captured filming various action sequences alongside lead star Nicholas Galitzine, who stars as Prince Adam/He-Man. Camila sent temperatures soaring displaying her very toned physique in a figure-hugging white and gold jumpsuit, featuring high red boots and thick elbow pads. The actress rocked vibrant red hair, which she recently debuted on her Instagram, ditching her trademark raven locks for the occasion. The Do Revenge star caught the eye while taking on some action-packed stunts while playing the role of Prince Adam's love interest and protector. The Riverdale icon, 30, looked every inch of the superwoman as she transformed into warrior goddess Teela Meanwhile The Idea Of You favourite, 30, looked worlds away as he sported a long blonde wig and wore a pink shirt with dark denim while playing the iconic sword-wielding hero. Teela's character was originally played by Chelsea Field in the previous live-action movie and was voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar in Netflix's animated series before being replaced by Melissa Benoist. The superhero feature is directed by Travis Knight, produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel, and is scheduled to hiy theatres on June 5, 2026. Per THR, Teela is 'the captain of the royal guard and the adopted daughter of Man-at-Arms, the royal family's inventor of weapons.' Within the multiple variations of the animated series, her character suspects Prince Adam of being the true identity of the hero He-Man, but in other adaptations she has been his love interest. In the upcoming film, Purple Hearts actor Nicholas Galitzine will take on the roles of Prince Adam of Eternia and He-Man, after his casting was confirmed in May. Get Hard star Alison Brie is slated to play the villain, Evil-Lyn, who is second-in-command to Skeletor. Her casting was announced in early September, but an actor to play Skeletor has not yet been announced. However, Jared Leto is reportedly being considered for the role of the main-antagonist, according to THR.

Additional cast and crew announcements have not yet been revealed but are expected as production approaches. Plot details for the new film are being kept under wraps at the moment, so it isn't clear how closely it will stick to the original animated series. The Masters Of The Universe franchise started as a 5.5-inch action figure line launched by Mattel in 1981. Each action figure came with a mini-comic that detailed the character's origins, which ultimately paved the way for children's books and a DC Comics run. Two years after the toys debuted, the Filmation animated series He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe debuted in the fall in 1983. The series was set on the planet of Eternia, centering on Prince Adam — who would turn into He-Man when wielding his Power Sword and saying, 'By the Power of Greyskull...' His primary nemesis was Skeletor, who would assemble various minions from his lair in Snake Mountain to try to defeat He-Man and his cohorts. The animated series aired 130 episodes that ran over two seasons, before going off the air in 1985.
