Masters of the Universe director reveals how She‑Ra cameo came together

Your eyes weren't deceiving you: that was indeed She‑Ra, Princess of Power, who appears during one Masters of the Universe post‑credits scene. The beloved twin sister of Adam has headlined two animated shows over the years, but She‑Ra's post‑credits cameo in Masters of the Universe marks the first time the character has appeared on screen in live action.

Director Travis Knight says it was a cameo that almost didn't happen and only came together late in production. "I wanted to get her in the movie, [but] there was a very complicated rights thing," Knight says. "We did that with like no money, too. That was at the end of the shoot.

We were just scrambling around trying to build a set and put a costume together because we finally got the rights to do it and, I mean, she looks great." The mid‑credits scene was kept secret and omitted from some early screenings. "We didn't show it to anybody.
