Can we expect to see She-Ra in the upcoming Masters of the Universe reboot? Director Travis Knight gave an intriguing response when asked about the possibility of He-Man's cousin making her live-action debut.
"I can say very little about She-Ra," the filmmaker tells SFX magazine. "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."
So, if MOTU gets a sequel, Princess Adora will likely be involved, but it sounds like she will either be referenced in this movie, or was actually going to appear before some changes were made.
"Whether or not she plays any part in this movie, I cannot say – but we definitely had many, many conversations about the character," Knight added. "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."
