If you were hoping to see Princess Adora teaming up with her twin brother Prince Adam in a future episode of Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, then I’m afraid we have some rather disappointing news for you as showrunner Noelle Stevenson has ruled out the possibility of a guest appearance from He-Man.
“He-Man is not really on the table for this iteration of She-Ra at all,” said Stevenson during an interview with Inverse. “It would be a challenge, I think, to bring He-Man to life in the present day. Even more so than She-Ra. He’s a very iconic character. It’d be a lot of fun to incorporate him into the world of She-Ra, but I don’t know what my what my approach to that would be.”
“It’s sort of a dance of figuring out how to incorporate the larger lore of Masters of the Universe without needing to visit Eternia or see these very, very iconic characters appear,” she continued. “Just letting it be about She-Ra’s story and her being disconnected from where she came from, from her family on Eternia.”
