Fans of the Masters of the Universe property have been waiting since 1987 for another live action movie, and one is finally on the way. Brothers Adam and Aaron Nee (Band of Robbers) have been hired to direct a script penned by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway (Men in Black: International, Iron Man), and it seems the new He-Man has been found!
The Wrap reports tonight that Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before) is in talks to play the new movie’s He-Man! Dolph Lundgren played the character in the ’87 film.
The movie will be based on the beloved Mattel toyline, which spawned a successful animated TV series (1983-85) as well as the 1987 film. The property centers on the warrior He-Man, the last hope of a magical land called Eternia.
Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch, as well as DeVon Franklin are producing, with David S. Goyer (who wrote the first draft) executive producing.
