While Prince Adam's estranged twin sister was part of neither the original toy line nor the '80s cartoon series, it only makes sense for her to appear in the upcoming live action film - especially if they want an excuse to set up a sequel and/or spin-off.

She-Ra is first introduced in the 1985 film, He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword, and subsequently appears in her own spin-off, She-Ra: Princess of Power. Created as a strong role model for young girls just as He-Man was for boys, it's more than likely Princess Adora will show her face at some point or another in the reboot.

Not only is actress Katherine McNamara the same age in real life as Noah Centineo (making it plausible for them to be on-screen twins), but she also bears a striking natural resemblance to the Princess of Power. Barring this, she has already cut her teeth in the superhero genre with her part as Mia Smoak/Blackstar in the CW series, Arrow, giving her that distinct edge over her competitors.

And with Arrow having recently come to an end, this could very well be the rising star's next big break.
