It appears that some new information about Sony’sMasters of the Universemovie has been revealed, including character breakdowns that suggestHe-Man and Skeletorare brothers. It’s been a pretty bumpy road for the new He-Man movie, but it seems like things are starting to fall into place. It was recently announced that Aaron and Adam Nee will officially be directing the project with a script that David S. Goyer wrote. Goyer is also reportedly sticking around to executive produce theMasters of the Universemovie as well.
In the original He-Man comics, Skeletor was the brother of King Randor, making him Prince Adam’s uncle. However, according to a new report, King Randor has two sons in the newMasters of the Universemovie, Adam and Keldor. Keldor is Skeletor’s real name, so it seems that they’re going to be siblings this time around, which may anger somelong-time He-Man fans. Additionally, Orko will “be reimagined as a small man whose self-doubt holds him back from being a reasonably mediocre wizard.” Orko often provided comic relief in the story and it seems that he might provide the same in theMasters of the Universemovie, but fans may be turned off on him being human instead of Trollan.
Duncan, akaMan-At-Armswill reportedly be inMasters of the Universeas well, but his character information looks to be the same as the comics and cartoon as does the information for his daughter, Teela. Teela will more than likely be the romantic interest of He-Man in the movie. We’ve already seen some battle armor teased for the character that looked like something that has never been seen in the He-Man universe before.
Zodak was described as “the King’s Minister of Technology and his right-hand man.” It appears that he might be somewhat of a mentor toPrince AdaminMasters of the Universe. Stratos is reportedly involved in the movie as well as “the leader of the Sky Guards of the Iron Gate Prison on Avion where Skeletor and his crew are imprisoned at one point.” So far, it seems that everything is pretty much the same for He-Man’s allies from the comics and cartoon series from the 1980s.
JoiningSkeletorwill be Beast Man, Evil Lyn, and Trap Jaw as the villains in Sony’sMasters of the Universemovie. It’s important to note that none of this information has been officially confirmed by anybody close to the project and is based on anonymous sources. But, it does seem to be pretty accurate information as far as the characters go. Additionally, more information about theMasters of the Universemovie will start to drop as the production start date approaches. This report about the characters that will be inMasters of the Universewas originally announced byThat Hashtag Show.
