Should Anthony De Longis be in the new MOTU movie?

[Captain Atkin]

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Anthony De Longis for www.he-man.org and www.motumovie.com. During the interview, Anthony expressed interest in returning for the next film, either as Blade or as a different character like Tri-Klops. He also expressed interest in working on the new film as a stunt coordinator, like he did on the original 1987 MOTU movie. Even though this new movie will most likely have nothing to do with the 1987 film, how would you all feel about Anthony returning to the MOTU universe in some way? Is this something fans would want to see?

He should DEFINITELY be in the movie, as both an actor and stunt co-ordinator- and as he mentioned in the interview, he should be the 'more experienced' Blade so he can get to use a real whip this time!

for a new version, I want him as stunt-cordinator and also as some character but not as a blade.

I want him as Blade,in a true sequel of the original film.
I imagine an old he-man with scars in an apocalyptic Eternia and blade wants a rematch, revenge with he-man.
this might be a film direct-to-dvd as the latest movies of Lundgren ,come on dolph do it

[wallbie]

I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be in the movie. Let's see him as either Blade or Tri-Klops. I'd also like to see what the staff fighting was supposed to be like for Skeletor's final confrontation with He-Man.

Something like this would be cool to see, but I kind of doubt Mattel would let it happen. I'm also not sure if Lundgren would want to do it. If they gave him more creative control over the project he might. He has recently started directing his own films, and he is rated the #1 "Direct-to-DVD" movie star in the world. His movies certainly make money.

It would have to have a low budget to justify making it. Probably under $15 milion, which is still alot of money for a Direct-to-DVD movie. With advances in CGI FX, they could make a decent DVD movie like this on a modest budget.

i think Dolph would accept play he-man again (he accepted in the name of the king 2 why not he-man?) if he would be the director too.

This would work well in my opinion, not only he-man fan would be interested about it but also the Dolph's fans , they are many and they are interested in all projects of Dolph, he does what he does. as you said he is the number 1 star direct to DVD.

I do not know if mattel has all rights of the original the movie but they should understand that this would be a separate project of the new version to the big screen

the history should be as personal as possible ,not too ambitious for a low budget.

he could coreograph a nice whip fighting scene with beastman

That's awesome. I have about a months worth of He-Stuff to catch up on, and I'm starting there!

[SimbasGuard]

I'd like to see Blade again, maybe Blade could be Tri-Klops' mentor in swordsmanship.

[Fendi]

Oooo, I would love to see a newly character play by him as an Evil Mentor.

[Patreek]

Cameos are always fun, I think that would be cool.

[the fixer]

Yes please.
As both actor and stunt choreographer. That would definitely rock!

Mr DeLongis' work on the MOTU motion picture and other eighties and nineties action movies is and was superb. I think a new production needs to be led by a new, more toy/toon/comic faithful vision and a dirctor that might see that through. It would be churlish to discount input from anyone as experienced in the business as Mr. DeLongis, but his involvement or not wouldn't be the thing that makes or breaks a new movie for me, sorry.
Old MOTU designers, box artists and writers however - they need consulted!

[Vahn]

Bring him back! I'd prefer him as BLADE, and like the idea of him being TRI-KLOPS' sword master or even KELDOR's, considering he also used two swords.

Bring him back as an actor and stunt coordinator!

[starcrusader]

Anthony can be a good Man at Arms. Really. He's a Good Teacher and Master. He's mine. So i talk with experience.
He's a good actor and he's the one with the better skills i can know!

Just imagine,a good man at arms , and a good cameo for the fans!!
Look at him, he looks like Duncan...

Somebody agree with me?

Bring us Anthony as Man at arms!!
Because he is one!

Anthony De Longis has been incredibly supportive of MOTUC over the past few years, and made some great videos in support of the Club Eternia subscription (in 2012 and 2013). It would be great to see someone as talented and passionate about Masters of the Universe in the new film. Especially someone who is a master of swords and weapons.
