The Netflix Masters of The Universe live-action movie has found its He-Man

[Jello Biafra]

​

The live-action feature film adaptation of “Masters of the Universe” has finally anointed its He-Man: rising actor Kyle Allen.

Producer Mattel Studios and Netflix announced that the “West Side Story” actor will take up the sword and skimpy costume of the ’80s icon in a film to be directed and co-written by The Nee Brothers (of the upcoming Sandra Bullock film “The Lost City” and “Band of Robbers”).

In “Masters of the Universe,” Allen will play an orphan named Adam who discovers he is a prince destined to be the savior of a faraway land. He must quickly learn of his power and the importance of saving his true home from an evil force. Previously at Sony Pictures, the project was officially announced by Netflix after months of further development. Sony will retain release rights to the project in China, insiders familiar with the deal said.

The Nees co-wrote the script with David Callaham (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”). Brenner and Kevin McKeon will lead the project for Mattel Films. Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch (“Being the Ricardos,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”) will produce with DeVon Franklin.

Allen broke out in the 2017 series “The Path,” one of the first Hulu originals led by Aaron Paul. His credits include “American Horror Story: Apocalypse,” “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things” and the Universal release “All My Life.”

No-one:

Netflix: MORE HE-MAN FOR YOUR HEADTOP!

I don't get why the guy in charge is so obsessed with this show. This is the third adaptation of the same IP they've got going.

We all watched it in the 80's. shyt was cool then. I don't know if I imagined they'd still be doing remakes 40 years down the line, when I was a kid

Sidenote: How has there not been a live action Thundercats yet?

Amazon MGM Studios & Mattel Date ‘Masters Of The Universe’ For Summer 2026

Amazon MGM Studios has set a release date for 'Masters of the Universe' of June 5, 2026.

deadline.com

The movie follows ten-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe.

This sounds terrible! WTF? Why cant they get this right. We don't give a fukk about Prince Adam. Why are they trying to tell Superman's story in He-Man's world?

This dual identity shyt is not going to work in a HE-MAN movie. Sure, it's cute for cartoons. But NOT the movie.


The one thing MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE MOVIE (1987) got right, was having no Prince Adam. Cancel this movie and re-develop it.
