MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE She-Ra Actress Reveals Full Look at Adora's Post-Credits Scene Costume
If you stuck around through the credits of Masters of the Universe, you were treated to one of the movie's coolest surprises. The brief stinger introduced She-Ra to the live-action world, teasing a future reunion between Adora and He-Man that has fans already hoping for a sequel.
Now, actress and model Lauren Saliu, who portrayed She-Ra in the post-credits scene, has shared a collection of behind-the-scenes photos that finally give fans a complete look at Adora's costume.
While the movie only offered a quick glimpse of the character from behind, these newly released images show just how faithful the design was to She-Ra's classic animated appearance.
Saliu has now been able to share photos from her time working on the film. Some of these images briefly surfaced when the movie was released but were later removed by Amazon. Thankfully, fans can now get a proper look at the impressive costume in all its glory.
The post-credits scene intentionally kept She-Ra mostly hidden. She only turns her head slightly before the scene ends, making the reveal more of a tease than a full introduction.
These behind-the-scenes photos confirm that Saliu was suited up in a costume that looks remarkably close to the iconic animated version of Adora, making the moment even more exciting in hindsight.
Director Travis Knight has previously confirmed that he already has an actress in mind should Masters of the Universe move forward with a sequel. Whether he was referring to Saliu remains a mystery, and nothing has been officially confirmed.
Saliu may be a fresh face to many viewers, but she already has several credits to her name, including the acclaimed short films The Last Straw, The Choice, and Joggers. Along with acting, she's also worked as a model and even wrote a book about the modeling industry.
Sharing the photos on social media, Saliu expressed how much the experience meant to her, saying: "Excited to share a few BTS photos from my time on set. I’m so grateful to have been a part of the [Masters of the Universe] film in the special post-credits scene."
She continued: "Huge congrats to the incredible cast, crew, and everyone involved. Can we also take a moment to acknowledge the costume team, whose craftsmanship was amazing. I hope everyone enjoys the film!"
It's great to finally get a clear look at the work that went into bringing She-Ra to life, especially considering how little of the costume actually made it onto the screen. The design team clearly put a lot of effort into recreating the beloved character, and it's a shame audiences only got a quick tease.
Despite earning $113 million worldwide, Masters of the Universe has been embraced by fans and currently holds a "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The hope now is that the movie continues to build momentum when it arrives on streaming, giving Amazon the confidence to move forward with a sequel.
If that happens, fans will almost certainly want more than a brief post-credits appearance from She-Ra. After seeing Saliu's full costume, it's hard not to imagine Adora stepping into the spotlight alongside He-Man for the next chapter of Eternia's live-action adventure.
