Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel who are behind the film, have announced that Travis Knight will serve as director with Chris Butler writing the screenplay after initial drafts were written by David Callaham, and Aaron and Adam Nee.
What will the new Masters of the Universe movie be about exactly? Well, plot details are currently being kept under wraps so we'll have to wait to find out. No doubt, there will be some displays of super-human strength and some battles with Skeletor, just like in the original cartoon.
“We’re thrilled to bring the beloved Masters of the Universe to life and couldn’t be more excited to announce the immensely talented Nicholas Galitzine as our He-Man,” said Julie Rapaport, head of film production and development at Amazon MGM Studios.
“Joining forces with director Travis Knight, Mattel, and Escape Artists, this reintroduction of the character and his universe will be an epic film that will delight audiences from here to Eternia.”
There's no word yet on other cast members but with characters such as She-Ra, Skeletor and Teela set to be filled, we're guessing it will be an epic group!
The film is expected in theatres June 5, 2026.
