In Masters of the Universe's post-credits scene, She-Ra makes her live-action debut in a stinger that's clearly meant to set up Adora's reunion with He-Man in a potential sequel.
Actress and model Lauren Saliu plays She-Ra, and as we first reported on SFFGazette.com, she's finally been able to share some photos from her time on the movie's set (some of these were shared when the movie opened but were later pulled by Amazon).
While the stinger only shows She-Ra from behind—she briefly turns her head to the side at one point—these behind-the-scenes shots confirm that Saliu was decked out in a fully cartoon-accurate costume.
Masters of the Universe filmmaker Travis Knight has confirmed he has an actress in mind for a potential sequel, and while he may be talking about Saliu, nothing has been confirmed as we write this. There's no denying that Saliu looks the part and, in full costume, could quite easily take on the role of She-Ra if asked.
The actress has a handful of credits, including acclaimed shorts like The Last Straw, The Choice, and Joggers. As noted, she's also a model who has written a book about the industry. Her Instagram account is @laurensaliu.
"Excited to share a few BTS photos from my time on set," Saliu wrote. "I’m so grateful to have been a part of the [Masters of the Universe] film in the special post-credits scene."
"Huge congrats to the incredible cast, crew, and everyone involved," she continued. "Can we also take a moment to acknowledge the costume team, whose craftsmanship was amazing. I hope everyone enjoys the film!"
Masters of the Universe grossed $113 million at the worldwide box office, but received glowing reviews from fans and is "Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. The hope is that it will find an audience on streaming, prompting Amazon to greenlight a sequel.
