A new poster for this summer's Masters of the Universe reboot has been revealed, spotlighting the movie's heroes and villains. He-Man and Skeletor are put front and centre, and they're surrounded by several familiar faces.
Nicholas Galitzine's He-Man is flanked by Camila Mendes as Teela, Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, Battle Cat, Kristen Wiig as Roboto, Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress, and James Purefoy as King Randor.
Surrounding Jared Leto's Skeletor are iconic Masters of the Universe baddies like Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Beast Man, and Spikor. In the background, Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain loom large.
During a recent interview, Galitzine talked about his transformation into He-Man. "It's a peculiar thing, being in a miniskirt and harness while everyone's fully dressed in puffer jackets and whatnot," he said. "Obviously, it's such a personal journey for you, and you see your body every day."
"Really, it's not till people who've seen you six months prior then see you there — in Eternia, [Skeletor's home] Snake Mountain, Subternia, wherever it may be — you gain validation off of other people's reactions to it," the actor added.
There's a lot of positive buzz surrounding the reboot, but whether that will translate to positive reviews from fans and critics remains to be seen. Amazon MGM Studios is hoping this movie launches a new franchise, so all eyes will be on how well it performs critically and commercially.
