Mattel’s Masters of the Universe was first introduced to the world in 1982 through a line of popular action figures. In 1983, the treasured animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe premiered and became one of the first children’s programs to be syndicated on television. From its inception, the MOTU brand was built upon the message of becoming the best version of oneself and today, the franchise spans a variety of consumer touchpoints across toys, television, video games, and more.
Mendes broke out with the role of Veronica on the series ‘Riverdale,’ which ended its run last year. Her recent credits include the 2024 features ‘Upgraded’ and ‘Música’ – both for Amazon MGM Studios and Netflix’s comedy ‘Do Revenge In’ 2022.
