Camila Mendes Exits ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Sequel To Hang With He-Man

We haven’t posted much about Sony’s I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel, mainly because I like pretending it’s not a real thing. But it is, and the cast that has been put together just suffered a major exit. Deadline reports Camila Mendes has dropped out of the film, because of an altogether different opportunity.

You may recall that Mendes was recently cast as Teela in the live-action Masters of the Universe movie. Because of that, Mendes realized she simply couldn’t make the production dates work to stay on both films, and she has chosen to stay on Eternia. The Riverdale actress will star alongside Nicholas Galitzine, who will play He-Man/Prince Adam in the Travis Knight-directed adaptation of the Mattel toy line.

Masters of the Universe opens in theaters on June 5th 2026.

As for I Know What You Did Last Summer, that film moves forward with Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Hauer-King in the cast, with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles from the 1997 original about a group of friends who are stalked by a mysterious killer after covering up an accident from the prior summer. The new sequel will pick up from events seen in 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
