EXCLUSIVE: Camila Mendes will no longer be starring in the Sony reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer. We understand the Riverdale actress could not make the production dates work given her starring role in the upcoming mega Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films title Masters of the Universe in which she’ll play Teela.

As we previously reported, Mendes will headline Masters of the Universe opposite Nicholas Galitzine, who plays He-Man. Her character, Teela, is a warrior and the Captain of Eternia’s Royal Guard. She’s responsible for protecting the royal family, especially Prince Adam aka He-Man.
