One of those is rumoured to make an appearance in a post-credits scene, but another that seemingly won\u2019t be is also one of the most famous \u2013 the princess of power herself She-Ra.<\/p>\n<p>Filmmaker Travis Knight was recently asked by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magazinesdirect.com\/uk\/sfx-subscription\/dp\/0eabd8d0?utm_medium=Affiliate&amp;utm_source=Awin&amp;utm_campaign=TechRadar&amp;utm_content=103504&amp;sv1=affiliate&amp;sv_campaign_id=103504&amp;awc=2961_1779125960_570dfe00b232fb85a05293226bc2b397\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SFX Magazine<\/a> (via <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbookmovie.com\/he_man-and-the-masters-of-the-universe\/masters-of-the-universe-director-says-she-ra-will-play-a-huge-part-in-potential-sequel-a227886\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CBM<\/a>) if He-Man\u2019s twin sister will make her live-action debut in the film, and he suggests they\u2019re saving her for a sequel:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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\u2019s story. In the fullness of time, if we\u2019re lucky to tell more stories in this universe, She-Ra will play a huge part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t stop there.  In a further quote, he indicated that some big scenes made for the film aren\u2019t there any longer as they had to be removed in order to fit the film\u2019s current 140-minute runtime.  It sounds like She-Ra, or her non-transformed counterpart Princess Adora, may have been involved in some way:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether or not she plays any part in this movie, I cannot say \u2013 but we definitely had many, many conversations about the character. There are giant scenes in the movie that aren\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She-Ra debuted in 1985 and went on to get her own animated spinoff, \u201cShe-Ra: Princess of Power\u201d. The character was revived for a five-season series for Netflix which ended in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>A live-action \u201cShe-Ra\u201d series is currently in development for Prime Video with Heidi Schreck on board as writer and executive producer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMasters of the Universe\u201d has set up a very elaborate Castle Grayskull facade for the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles for the film\u2019s premiere tonight.  The film itself doesn\u2019t open for another two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filmation, Mattel The upcoming \u201cMasters of the Universe\u201d boasts a very stacked cast filled with many of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679063,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[112110,49,48,75,337],"class_list":["post-679062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bigslider","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
