Is She-Ra Appearing in the Masters of the Universe Reboot?
Fortunately, She-Ra has an appearance in the post-credits scene of Masters of the Universe, teasing her major role in the sequel.
We also got the confirmation thanks to a now-deleted Instagram post from actress-model Lauran Saliu, who showed a closer look at her character's costume and behind-the-scenes of her work on the set.
However, She-Ra's appearance in the film should not be a surprise for fans, since director Travis Knight has already teased the character's potential appearance in an interview with SFX magazine.
"I can say very little about She-Ra. For me, She-Ra has always been a big part of the Masters world and a big part of Adam’s story. In the fullness of time, if we’re lucky to tell more stories in this universe, She-Ra will play a huge part," he said. "We definitely had many, many conversations about the character."
Knight also suggested that She-Ra may have had a bigger role in the earlier cut of the movie.
"There are giant scenes in the movie that aren’t there any longer. I am very proud of the movie, but there are definitely things that I love that we had to cut. Hopefully, they will get to see the light of day at some point," he added.
As Knight teased, fans can expect more of She-Ra in a potential sequel if it ends up happening.
