She-Ra appears in the post-credits scene of Masters of the Universe with her back to the camera, while her iconic Sword of Protection and red cape makes her instantly recognizable to fans. However, since her face is not shown, the actress behind the role remains unknown. But as per The Direct, Lauren Saliu allegedly revealed in a now-deleted post that she is set to play She-Ra in the film.
"Secret is out. I’m excited to finally share that I appear as She-Ra in the post-credit scene in 'Masters of the Universe.' So grateful and had so much fun embodying She-Ra the Princess of Power," she wrote on now deleted IG post.
Although the post has since been removed, there is no official confirmation of the casting. However, Travis Knight, in conversation with Nerdist, has already stated that She-Ra will be part of a sequel if it moves forward, adding that he even has an actress in mind for the role. For now, it remains uncertain who will ultimately portray She-Ra, and speculation is likely to continue until a sequel is officially announced or enters production.
While many questions remain about the actress, there is still much to learn about the character herself.
Who is She-Ra and what are her powers?
As many know, Princess Adora, better known as She-Ra, is the twin sister of Prince Adam. She was k******** as an infant by the leader of the Evil Horde and raised far away from her family on a neighboring planet. She eventually discovers her true identity after reuniting with her brother.
Like He-Man, She-Ra also possesses remarkable powers. While He-Man wears a breastplate made of Corodite to enhance his strength, She-Ra does not require any external source to amplify her abilities. However, one of her most distinctive tools is the Sword of Protection, which can transform into anything she imagines.

It can become a helmet, a telescope, and more. She also uses the sword to transform her horse into a winged steed capable of flight. Moreover, she can communicate telepathically with animals, including her unicorn.
One of her most notable powers is her healing ability, which she once used to save and heal her unicorn, Swift Wind. Initially serving as a captain in the Horde’s army, she is highly skilled in combat and a strong strategist. These abilities and her iconic character design explain why fans are so excited and hyped to see She-Ra appear in the post-credits scenes of the movie, Masters of the Universe.
