The Masters of the Universe live-action reboot just took another step toward reality with the reveal of its official title logo, and it came with some seriously epic music to set the tone. While the teaser doesn’t give away much in terms of story or visuals, it’s a clear sign that a full trailer could be right around the corner.
Production on the film recently wrapped, and this reboot promises to be an ambitious spectacle that spans both Eternia and Earth. Expect heavy VFX, especially for the villain fans have been waiting to see done justice—Skeletor.
The story will follow a younger take on Prince Adam’s origin. Here’s the official synopsis:
“10-year old Prince Adam, who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia.
‘After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor.
‘But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man, the most powerful man in the Universe.”
It will be interesting to see if Travis Knight (Bumblebee) can balance those worlds and makes a good film that fans will love, because the whole Earth setting isn’t a positive hook for fans.
Leading the charge is Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of You) as He-Man and Jared Leto (Morbius) stepping into the role of Skeletor. They’re joined by an impressive cast: Alison Brie (Promising Young Woman) as Evil-Lyn, Camila Mendes (Riverdale) as Teela, and Idris Elba (Thor: Ragnarok) as Man-at-Arms.
The ensemble also includes: Sam C. Wilson (House of the Dragon) will bring Trap Jaw to life, Kojo Attah (The Beekeeper) takes on Tri-Klops, and Hafthor Bjornsson (Game of Thrones) is set to play Goat Man. Rounding out the lineup are Morena Baccarin (Deadpool & Wolverine) as The Sorceress, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson (Vikings) as Fisto, and Jon Xue Zhang (Eternals) as Ram-Man.
The title reveal may be brief, but combined with the thunderous score, it suggests this Masters of the Universe adaptation isn’t holding back. With production wrapped and marketing heating up, expect Eternia’s return to be nothing short of spectacular.
What do you think of the logo and this stacked cast? Are you ready to see He-Man back on the big screen?
