Masters Of The Universe: He-Man Movie Finally Has A Release Date
By the power of Greyskull!
Join Hollywood as it once more marches relentlessly through your 1980s toy box, turning everything you once knew and loved into movies to get you to spend your hard-earned on cinema tickets hoping they haven't crushed your childhood.
Today, we have news that the new take on He-Man - titled Masters Of The Universe just like that other one we probably shouldn't mention - finally has a release date.
The live action movie - which will no longer be directed by McG (according to EW) - will be written by David S Goyer, and casting is now underway with "numerous A-Listers" in the frame. Presumably, that means Kellan Lutz - who was previously attached tentatively - is out.
Apparently, Sony are looking for a tone similar to the MCU, which is a good thing, since there's no way He-Man should be serious (and there's no way a property that camp could work without self-awareness). It should be a Taika Waititi style comedy, in all honesty, but that's too much of a dream.
In addition, it seems Sony have also moved the Miles Morales-focused animated Spider-Man away fromAquaman, by shifting it up a week to December 14, 2018.
Masters of the Universe opens in cinemas on December 18th 2019.
