‘Masters of the Universe’ Star Camila Mendes Tells Us All About Teela

June 2, 2026May 31, 2026 Mike Manalo

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!

However, for over 10 years, he has quietly and stealthily become one of the strongest storytellers in cinema today. With his upcoming adaptation of Masters of the Universe hitting theaters June 5, and his next stop-motion animated Laika masterpiece Wildwood already amassing over 100M views for its teaser trailer in a single week, it’s beginning to look like Knight’s talents won’t be overlooked for much longer.
