Blake Lively, Priyanka Chopra & 5 Other Actresses Approached For She-Ra Movie
If you, just like me, grew up in the 80s, then you would probably have been a fan of the animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and also its spin-off show She-Ra: Princess of Power.
We already know that He-Man will get a cinematic reboot sometime in 2018 (there was already a movie released in 1987 starring Dolph Lundgren titled "Masters of the Universe") with Jon M. Chu in the director's seat.
Recently, in an interview with Deadline, Chu confirmed plans for a She-Ra movie as well.
"Yes, it's happening. I am currently in a very initial phase of script writing process, and if everything goes as we planned, then we will also see a He-Man & She-Ra cross-over movie by 2021-22."
He also provided some insight towards who would be playing the coveted role.
"We are looking at few caucasian actresses as well women of color to play She-Ra, and we have started to approach few actresses just to get a confirmation on Dates because we are planning to film She-Ra and He-Man simultaneously, their release dates won't be far apart."
Below are the seven actresses that have been approached to play She-Ra, as reported by Comic Books Galaxy.
