Last week, Variety reported that Warner Bros. has tapped John Stevenson as the director of Masters of the Universe, a live-action remake of the signature toy line and animated series. So, yeah, sure, we can dig a He-Man movie. But what of a She-Ra: Princess of Power sequel?! The nostalgia feels ripe for the re-introduction of Adora and her warrior princess alter-ego. Let's review the cartoon's thrilling conclusion:
On the war torn planet of Etheria, She-Ra and her magical allies in the Great Rebellion face their final struggles against the tyrannical Hordak and his Evil Horde. New warriors from the kingdom of Bright Moon appear to help stop the spread of oppressive villains making their debut in the Fright Zone. And in the battle against the malevolent forces of Horde Prime, where would She-Ra be without the occasional help from her brother, He-Man and his Eternian allies?We think Sarah Michelle Gellar would make an excellent She-Ra: she's well-versed in a character that maintains a secret magical gig and can kick major big baddie ass. But Amy Smart really looks the part, too. Decisions. Who would you cast in this theoretical sequel that doesn't exist yet but we're nevertheless intensely excited about, given the hours we spent watching the '80s cartoon like so many other pre-Disney Princessers?
