The new character posters for Masters Of The Universe prove to us all that they have the power. Check them out here ahead of the film’s release.
“By the power of Grayskull!”
This June, the hero returns to live-action once again. The new movie, Masters Of The Universe, will hit screens on June 3rd in the UK and June 5th in the United States. The film is coming to the U.S and Canada via Amazon MGM Studios. Internationally, Sony Pictures Releasing International will handle it. Nicholas Galitzine stars as Prince Adam / He-Man, while Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Jared Leto, and Idris Elba appear in supporting roles.
“I have the power!” Those words remind many of us of the first time we watched the classic animated series He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe on TV. We all sat and watched on Saturday mornings (and even during the week here in the UK) as He-Man battled those evil forces led by Skeletor on the planet of Eternia. We all bought the toys, we all watched the series, as well as its spin-off, She-Ra: Princess of Power. Many of us also went to see the animated movie He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword. Not many people saw the 1987 live-action movie starring Dolph Lundgren, though.
Ahead of the release of the new film, the character posters have arrived from Eternia. Together, they prove that they do indeed have the power! But first…
PREMISE
Fleeing a devastating civil war, ten-year-old Adam Glenn, Crown Prince of the planet Eternia, is spirited away to his mother’s home planet, Earth, separating him from his ancestor’s Power Sword. Twenty years later, a now-adult Adam must return to his father’s home planet, Eternia, and rediscover his lost birthright, becoming He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, and leading the few remaining warriors of Eternia against the evil forces of Skeletor.
THE CHARACTER POSTERS
THOUGHTS
Wow, what an incredible new look at the film and the heroes and villains. Seeing these character posters will have the fans chomping at the bit to see the film. Fans have already been dissecting the international trailer for any easter eggs that are lying in plain sight, while audiences can start to feel the excitement that awaits them when they sit in the darkened theater and allow themselves to be transported away, even if only for a little while. Could the film be a major box office contender for the highest-grossing movie of the year? Will kids bug their parents to buy them the complete range of toys and merchandise that tie in with the film? Only time will tell.
Masters Of The Universe will hold its sword aloft, proclaiming, “I have the power!” in theaters on June 3rd. Remember, legends aren’t born. They’re forged!
