Camila Mendes is stepping into some seriously powerful shoes. The Riverdale star has officially been cast as Teela in the live-action Masters of the Universe film, set to hit theaters in the summer of 2026.
While Nicholas Galitzine is taking on the mantle of He-Man, all eyes are on Mendes as she gears up to play the fierce warrior who’s as skilled with a sword as she is with strategy.
Teela, one of the franchise’s original characters, isn’t just a sidekick. She’s the Captain of the Royal Guard, tasked with protecting Prince Adam, unaware that he’s actually He-Man. With Kubo and the Two Strings director Travis Knight at the helm, fans can expect a visually stunning and action-packed adventure.
Mendes, who’s no stranger to strong, dynamic roles, is poised to bring a fresh energy to this beloved character. As 2026 approaches, anticipation builds for this epic clash of good and evil on the big screen.
