The Masters of the Universe movie, currently in development at Amazon Studios, teases connections to She-Ra, the long-lost twin sister of He-Man, who starred in her own spinoff animated series.
Masters of the Universe starring Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man has been filming in the UK where new set images show off what appears to be some sort of map of Eternia, the planet that serves as the main setting of the franchise.
Images around the map happen to feature characters from the She-Ra animated series including:
- Bow (one of She-Ra’s best friends and a skilled archer)
- Netossa (a member of the Rebellion who traps enemies with energy nets)
- Zodak (a cosmic enforcer and mystic guardian of balance in the universe)
- King Hiss (leader of the Snake Men and enemy of both He-Man and Skeletor)
- Perfuma (a Rebellion ally with the power to control plants and flowers)
Since the characters appear in the film in some way, it could be possible that She-Ra isn’t far behind. Maybe in a sequel?
