Masters of the Universe is a live adaptation of the Mattel franchise of the same name, and follows Prince Adam/He-Man (Nicholas Galitzine) as he uses his magical Sword of Power to return to his broken kingdom after being separated for 15 years. With the help of Teela (Camila Mendes) and Man-at-Arms (Idris Elba), the trio band together to save the prince’s home planet of Eternia from the evil Skeletor (Jared Leto).
Morena’s character is Teela’s mother and the guardian of Castle Grayskull, the fictional location that supposedly holds the secrets to conquering the universe.
We need to mark our calendars for this one!
