Masters of the Universe appears to be progressing alongside properly sufficient, and now a few new forged members have been added to the fold.
Each every now and then I get reminded {that a} live-action Grasp of the Universe film is within the works, and at this time that comes courtesy of Deadline, who stories that two new forged 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 consumer that watches over Citadel 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 had been clearly designed to look cool and to promote toys!
They be part of a (largely) robust forged, 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 utterly), Jared Leto as Skeletor. I do really assume Galitzine could be very properly forged for the function, if you have not seen him in Bottoms he is completely acquired the chops for a job as foolish as He-Man, and Mendes’ tenure on Riverdale actually suggests she will be able to camp it up. Even nonetheless, I actually do marvel why a live-action He-Man/ Masters of the Universe challenge has to occur in any respect – I do know the precise purpose why, it is as a result of it is a well-established IP, however it doesn’t suggest I’ve to be glad about it.
A latest take a look at Galitzine and Mendes coaching for his or her respective roles as He-Man and Teela was shared, which you’ll be able to try above, and the previous actually seems to be like he is beefed up for it, so I suppose no person might 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 the moment set to launch June 5, 2026.
