This past Thurdsay was an exciting day for Masters of the Universe fans when they learned that the role of Teela was cast for the upcoming "Masters of the Universe" movie from Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films. It was announced that none other than actress Camila Mendes (Riverdale) would play the iconic role. Actress Camila Mendes Once Camila Mendes was announced as Teela, she instantly took to social media to express her all out excitement: "stoked to get yoked 💪 still can't believe this is real....thank you @amazonmgmstudios @mattel and Travis Knight for believing in me as your teela -…
We have the Power! 
I can't wait to see her in costume. I wonder if she will watch everything including the 1980s movie.
It's very telling they they are allowing her to watch and read the goods from how this all started.
Unlike Singer with x-men, he didn't want them doing research, he very much wanted it to be guided by the specific script and his vision.
This us step in the right direction.
Again, I wanna see the work out she gets on and her fight training.
I so hope they really give it their best to turn her into Teela and not repeat what the Flash movie did with having an actress that could have looked like a great Supergirl if they had bothered but now is best remembered as that alternative SG from another failed DC movie while Gunn already teased (or outright announced by now?) a Supergirl that looks like one.
Alterenative creative takes can work well in phases of oversaturation (i.e. Batman; lets do a pre industrial age noir version!); not when all the fanbase crys "please, finally get you f*ing s*it together and do it right this time dangit!" because all the major player love to suddenly feel the urge to change the success formular that made the fans open their wallets to begin with into someting else for the sake of it.
*takes a deep breath*
Sry for the drunk rant. Ms. Mendes: Best of luck & may you find in Teela what we fans love in her and do your best to get it on screen.
This is so cute. Wait until she finds out the Eternia in the comics is different from the Eternia in the cartoon. 😆
That is cute and fun to see!
I love that she is also basically promoting MOTU to her followers right from the start.
And yes, of course it’s great to see her doing some classic research. The cartoon is the most famous, but she’ll also see the more spooky and dark Alcala mini-comics to balance things out.
@caliban This movie is guaranteed to not have even a hint of sex appeal.
I'm just excited she is doing homework. This gives a bit of hope it may actually happen.
She can do as much homework as she wants, the director and writer are gonna tell her what the character is.
@banthafett It can't hurt. At worst all the research gives her a read on Teela's vibe.
She really seems into it. Hopefully a sign of good things for this movie.

I won't be surprised if her body is covered from head to toe in costume to avoid being accused of sexualizing her. At the same time He-Man wearing nothing but a loincloth and harness will be no problem.
So in other words, the 1987 movie? 🤣 I hope she incorporates that film into her research. "Woman At Arms" really made an impression in that movie.

Ahead of its time and not a good thing. Her outfit felt like it belonged more in Star Wars 1977.
