Camila Mendes to Star as Iconic Teela in 'Masters of the Universe'—What to Expect!

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.
