Relive simpler times with the the first preview for Masters of the Universe ahead of tomorrow’s teaser trailer release.
Directed by Travis Knight (Bumblebee), the live-action film arrives in theaters June 5 from Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel.
Nicholas Galitzine stars as He-Man alongside Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, and Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress.
The cast also includes Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Fisto, Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, James Purefoy as King Randor, Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena, Jon Xue Zhang as Ram-Man, Sasheer Zamata as Suzie, and Christian Vunipola as Hussein.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the movie is expected to follow a young man who, upon discovering his secret legacy as the prince of an alien planet, must recover a magic sword and return home to protect his kingdom.
Chris Butler (ParaNorman) wrote the script, reworked from earlier drafts by David Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and Aaron & Adam Nee (The Lost City).
Mattel launched Masters of the Universe with a toy line in 1982 followed by the “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” cartoon from 1983-1985. The franchise now includes multiple animated series, toy lines, comics, video games, and books, along with a 1987 live-action film.
