Teela has been a staple in every iteration of Masters of the Universe. Without Teela, there is no He-Man. That’s as true today as it ever has been. Her true heritage and how it ties into the grander mythology of Masters of the Universe is essential to the storylines, and how Adam learns to fight and become a mighty warrior is tied to her combat training as the captain of the guards. So the film needed an actress who could be as graceful, resilient, and powerful as the history of the character has demanded. Which is exactly what made star, Camila Mendes perfect for the role!

As a 12-year-old, I somehow convinced my Dad to take me to see Set It Off. “Wait, how old are you?!” She exclaims on the zoom call.

One thing I did know when watching was that Vivica A. Fox was a star.
