Supergirl alumna Melissa Benoist will be the voice of heroine Teela in Masters of the Universe: Revolution, Kevin Smith’s continuation of his Masters Of The Universe: Revelation He-Man adaptation at Netflix, Mattel announced today. She takes over the role played by Sarah Michelle Gellar in the original series.

Set as the follow-up to 2021’s Revelation, Revolution finds Benoist as Teela alongside He-Man and the rest of the Masters as they struggle to save Eternia from the tangles of darkness.

“Revolution is an all-new story that focuses on the classic He-Man vs. Skeletor rivalry in a way audiences have never seen before,” Mattel said. It’s technology up against magic as He-Man and the heroic warriors face the forces of Skeletor and a deadly threat to the Planet in the next epic chapter in the battle for Eternia.

“I jumped at the opportunity to work alongside my friend, Kevin Smith and join the Revolution family as another bold and fearless heroine,” said Benoist. “I look forward to sharing the next evolution of Teela’s story with fans.”

She joins previously announced cast including Chris Wood as He-Man, Emmy nominee Mark Hamill as Skeletor, and William Shatner in a still-to-be announced role.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution is set to debut on Netflix in 2024. Mattel’s Fred Soulie, Rob David and Christopher Keenan executive produce, along with Ted Biaselli and Kevin Smith.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution Recasts Teela With Supergirl Star

Masters of the Universe: Revolution has recast the heroine Teela with the star of The CW's Supergirl. The upcoming Netflix animated series is being billed as a continuation of Kevin Smith's Masters of the Universe: Revelation. That series, which premiered in 2021, provided a new sequel timeline to the iconic 1980s series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, bringing back many fan favorite characters. This includes the strapping He-Man (Chris Wood), the insidious Skeletor (Mark Hamill), and He-Man's daring protector Teela (Sarah Michelle Gellar).

Now, Mattel announces that a new actor will be stepping into the role of Teela in Masters of the Universe: Revolution. The role will be taken over by Melissa Benoist, who is best known for playing the titular Kryptonian heroine in the Arrowverse series Supergirl. Benoist is the latest actor to join the series after the legendary William Shatner, who is playing a currently undisclosed role.

Melissa Benoist is Continuing Her Fruitful Collaboration with Kevin Smith

Benoist is best known for playing Superman's cousin Supergirl, a role she held for 126 episodes across six seasons. However, she has extensive experience in genres outside the heroic realm. This includes one of her star-making roles, as new McKinley High student Marley Rose on seasons 4 and 5 of Glee, as well as dramatic roles in films like Lowriders and Damien Chazelle's Whiplash.

Her first collaboration with Smith came when he asked her to bring her superhero skills to his 2019 comedy Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. In that film, she lambasted her Arrowverse persona by playing the superhero Chronic. The weed-themed hero originally appeared in the fictional comic book Bluntman and Chronic in Smith's 1997 outing Chasing Amy.

That cameo led to another fruitful collaboration between the two in his newest film, the sequel Clerks III. With Masters of the Universe: Revolution now capping off a trilogy of projects they have worked on together, it is easy to see the throughline. Smith is calling upon her to breathe life into another iconic hero, harnessing her legacy as Supergirl yet again, just over a year after the show went off the air.

Melissa Benoist to Replace Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela in Netflix’s New ‘Masters of the Universe’ Series

The ”Supergirl“ star joins husband Chris Wood, who voices He-Man in the animated show

“Supergirl” star Melissa Benoist has joined the voice cast of Netflix’s He-Man adaptation, “Masters of the Universe: Revolution” as heroine Teela, Mattel said Wednesday. The animated series will debut on the streamer in 2024.

The All-Star cast includes Benoist’s husband Chris Wood as the mighty He-Man, Mark Hamill as villainous Skeletor, and William Shatner in a yet-to-be announced role.

“I jumped at the opportunity to work alongside my friend, Kevin Smith and join the ‘Revolution’ family as another bold and fearless heroine,” Benoist said. “I look forward to sharing the next evolution of Teela’s story with fans.”

Set as the follow-up to 2021’s “Revelation,” “Revolution” finds Teela, He-Man and the rest of the Masters as they struggle to save Eternia from the tangles of darkness. The character was voiced in “Revelation” by “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Wolf Pack” star Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Per the logline, “‘Revolution’ is an all-new story that focuses on the classic He-Man vs. Skeletor rivalry in a way audiences have never seen before. It’s technology up against magic as He-Man and the heroic warriors face the forces of Skeletor and a deadly threat to the Planet in the next epic chapter in the battle for Eternia.”

“On the heels of our 40th anniversary, He-Man is more prevalent in pop culture than ever before, which is why we’re especially excited to bring the force that is Melissa Benoist into the fold,” said Fred Soulie, senior VP and general manager at Mattel Television. “Melissa already exemplifies every aspect of Teela’s formidable personality, and we know that she will continue to showcase the same heart as she did in ‘Supergirl,’ providing audiences with a new iteration of a classic character synonymous with strength and heroism.”

This is Benoist’s third collaboration with Smith: She appeared in his films “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” and “Clerks III.” She previously worked with Wood in the earlier seasons of Supergirl, where he recurred as superhero Mon-El.

Benoist will next appear in HBO Max’s “The Girl on the Bus.” She previously played Marley on “Glee” and appeared in films including “Whiplash” and “Patriots Day.”

“Masters of the Universe: Revolution” is executive produced by Mattel’s Fred Soulie, Rob David and Christopher Keenan, as well as Smith and Ted Biaselli.

Wonder if Melissa will geek out knowing she'll be, aside working with husband Chris, working with JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK of Star Trek.

By the way, in the OG Masters of the Universe, which this person remembers from back in the day, Linda Gary was Teela as well as The Sorceress.

Melissa is working with two legends of sci fi. Star Trek's William Shatner and Star Wars's Mark Hamill Plus all those Arrowverse connections.

Kevin Smith directed her on Supergirl and he directed episodes of The Flash
Of course she worked with her husband on Supergirl.
Mark Hamill played The Trickster on The Flash.

Mattel has announced that Supergirl's Melissa Benoist has joined the voice cast of the upcoming He-Man adaptation, Masters of the Universe: Revolution.

Benoist, who is fresh off her run as the titular superhero Kara Danvers/Kara Zor-El in the hit CW show Supergirl, will voice the heroine Teela in the upcoming series, which serves as a sequel to Kevin Smith's acclaimed 2021 limited animated series, Masters of the Universe: Revelation. "I jumped at the opportunity to work alongside my friend, Kevin Smith and join the Revolution family as another bold and fearless heroine," said Benoist. "I look forward to sharing the next evolution of Teela’s story with fans." Teela was previously voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wolf Pack) in Revelation.

"On the heels of our 40th anniversary, He-Man is more prevalent in pop culture than ever before, which is why we’re especially excited to bring the force that is Melissa Benoist into the fold," added Mattel Television's Senior Vice President and General Manager Fred Soulie. "Melissa already exemplifies every aspect of Teela’s formidable personality, and we know that she will continue to showcase the same heart as she did in Supergirl, providing audiences with a new iteration of a classic character synonymous with strength and heroism."

He-Man and Teela's Story Is Far From Over

Masters of the Universe: Revolution was announced in June 2022 during Netflix's Geeked Week, with the upcoming follow-up set to follow Teela, He-Man and the rest of the Masters as they "struggle to save Eternia from the tangles of darkness. Revolution is an all-new story that focuses on the classic He-Man vs. Skeletor rivalry in a way audiences have never seen before," reads the series' official synopsis. "It’s technology up against magic as He-Man and the heroic warriors face the forces of Skeletor and a deadly threat to the Planet in the next epic chapter in the battle for Eternia."

Masters of the Universe: Revolution will mark Benoist’s third collaboration with Kevin Smith, having previously appeared in the films Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) and Clerks III (2022). Her role as Teela will also be her second time working with her husband Chris Wood, who appeared in multiple seasons of Supergirl as Mon-El. Wood will reprise his role from Revelation as He-Man, with legendary voice actor Mark Hamill also back as Skeletor. They will be joined by Star Trek's William Shatner who boarded the series in July 2022 in an undisclosed role.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution will debut on Netflix in 2024.
