If the glitz of the Oscars isn't quite your scene, there's another thrilling event to capture your attention today – the release of the first trailer for 'Masters of the Universe.' This iconic '80s series is getting a fresh, live-action reboot, and it's already making waves. Directed by the visionary Travis Knight, the film follows Prince Adam, played by Nicholas Galitzine, as he returns to his home planet Eternia. After 15 years away, Adam is reunited with the legendary Sword of Power, only to find his homeland under the dark rule of Skeletor, portrayed by Jared Leto.
To reclaim Eternia, Adam must team up with Teela, played by Camila Mendes, and Duncan, also known as Man-At-Arms, brought to life by Idris Elba. Together, they must face challenges and awaken Adam's destiny as the mighty He-Man. "Our director Travis Knight has assembled the most incredible ensemble cast and created a stunning tapestry of Eternia and its surrounding world. I can't wait for you to see," Galitzine shared with excitement.
Fans were already buzzing with anticipation after a nostalgic teaser dropped yesterday, featuring a retro MGM logo and inviting viewers to reminisce about simpler times. The trailer, with its promise of adventure and nostalgia, also stars Alison Brie as the cunning Evil-Lyn, Morena Baccarin as the mystical Sorceress of Grayskull, and James Purefoy and Charlotte Riley as Adam's regal parents. Plus, expect some comedic flair with Kristen Wiig lending her voice to the character Roboto.
