Masters of the Universe appears to be progressing alongside effectively sufficient, and now a few new solid members have been added to the fold.
Each infrequently I get reminded {that a} live-action Grasp of the Universe film is within the works, and immediately that comes courtesy of Deadline, who experiences that two new solid members have joined the movie as a part of the titular group of characters. First up is Morena Baccarin, who you will most likely know finest as Vanessa within the Deadpool movies, as The Sorceress, a magic person that watches over Fortress Grayskull. Becoming a member of her in becoming a member of the movie is Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson (Vikings: Valhalla) as Malcolm/ Fisto, who, uh, has an enormous metallic fist. Do not you simply love characters that have been clearly designed to look cool and to promote toys!
They be a part of a (largely) robust solid, together with Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms, Sam C. Wilson as Entice Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, and (right here is the place they lose me fully), Jared Leto as Skeletor. I do really assume Galitzine may be very effectively solid for the position, if you have not seen him in Bottoms he is completely received the chops for a task as foolish as He-Man, and Mendes’ tenure on Riverdale definitely suggests she will camp it up. Even nonetheless, I actually do marvel why a live-action He-Man/ Masters of the Universe undertaking has to occur in any respect – I do know the precise motive why, it is as a result of it is a well-established IP, nevertheless it does not imply I’ve to be pleased about it.
A current take a look at Galitzine and Mendes coaching for his or her respective roles as He-Man and Teela was shared, which you’ll try above, and the previous definitely seems to be like he is beefed up for it, so I suppose no one will likely be let down in that regard.
The movie is being helmed by Bumblebee director and stop-motion studio Laika co-founder Travis Knight, and is at present set to launch June 5, 2026.
