In July 2023, the streaming platform Netflixwhich produced new cartoon series set in the “Masters of the Universe” universe, has dropped out of a feature film project based on the same franchise.
The project of creating live-action “Masters of the Universe” interested Amazon. As reported by Variety, the film “Masters of the Universe” is to be directed by Travis Knight (“Kubo and the Two Strings”), and the script for it will be written by Chris Butler (“ParaNorman”). The role of He-Man is to be played by Nicholas Galitzine. At his side as Teela – the captain of the prince’s guard – will appear Camila Mendes, an actress known from the Netflix hit series “Riverdale”.
Information about the engagement Jared Leto Jeff Sneider reported. The actor known from “Morbius” is set to play Skeletor. On the one hand, the actor has a lot of experience with similar roles, but on the other hand, he had to deal with many negative comments.
Skeletor is He-Man’s main adversary, seeking to possess the power of Grayskull and seize all of Eternia for himself. According to more recent comics, Skeletor may be He-Man’s lost uncle.
The confirmed cast of the reboot includes such stars as Sarah Pidgeon (“The Wild”, “Lazareth”), Jonah Hauer-King (“The Little Mermaid”, “The Tattooist of Auschwitz”), Tyriq Withers (“Me”, “Atlanta”) and Madelyn Cline (“Outer Banks”, “Glass Onion”).
The details of the plot are not yet known, but it is possible that the motif known from the animated series and the earlier approach to live-action production will be used.
