The iconic Masters of the Universe is returning with a bang, but not without some costume controversies! Will the new look satisfy fans?
Camila Mendes, who plays Teela, has revealed that her character's costume has been adjusted for the modern reboot. In the original cartoon, Teela's outfit was, let's say, a bit skimpy, showcasing her legs and featuring a low-cut design. But here's the twist: Mendes was totally game for the classic look!
In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, the actress shared her thoughts: "I was okay with it, but the filmmakers had other ideas." They felt it would be a bit odd to have a warrior woman dressed like a beachgoer alongside her burly male counterparts. And this is where it gets interesting—the decision to cover up Teela has sparked some debate among fans.
Some argue that the original costume is a beloved part of the franchise's history, while others applaud the update as a step towards more practical and empowering female attire. But the changes don't stop there! The film promises epic battles, including a showdown between Battle Cat and Beast Man, which we can't wait to see.
Director Travis Knight is bringing this beloved franchise to life on the big screen. The story follows Prince Adam, who, after 15 years, returns to Eternia with the Sword of Power and must confront the evil Skeletor. To save his world, he teams up with Teela and Duncan, embracing his destiny as He-Man.
With a star-studded cast, including Nicholas Galitzine, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, and the legendary Jared Leto, this live-action adventure is set to thrill audiences. And the best part? We won't have to wait long, as Masters of the Universe hits theaters on June 5!
