Netflix's Masters of the Universe Film - Official Discussion

[DC_WARLORD]

Guys, I don't understand, does that mean Noah won't play He-man?

I'm not sure if there's any offical word, but most people are taking this as confirmation that the movie was placed on the back burner, yet again.

But Daniel Richtman! That guy who is wrong half the time said it was showing signs of life!

The movie is dead folks.

There are two Netflix animated shows, and there's two new toylines. That's what we have to look forward to. The movie is a pipe dream at this point.

Oh well, if it's dead, it's dead. The odds were highly against it being an improvement over the '87 piece of trash anyway. A 2 hour movie simply can't do the vast MOTU world justice. It's impossible. A big budget streaming series however could.

The best hope for something live action to happen is for the new properties to hit and do well. If they actually generate some mainstream buzz and popularity, that could help the property get some gas for another new adaptation, but I'm not holding my breath.

Also, Noah Centineo was always a bad choice for the role.

No offense to Noah, as I think he's a good actor. But I tried to tell everyone about him with regard to playing He-man. Moot point anyway, since the movie was never going to happen, which I also tried to explain.

Over a million-and-a-half views in the Casting speculation thread. I suppose it was fun, but then pipe dreams sometimes are. Kind of like a rocking chair -- takes a lot of effort but doesn't really get you anywhere...

I always hoped for another movie but, it seems like nobody is ever going to be on the same page and get this thing actually in production. The script would be everything.

I just want an 8-10 episode show that follows the original mini-comics. Maybe I am crazy(and I am) but, if they focused on those as “outlines”, they could build something incredible in an episodic way.

Someone has probably said this before.

Agree 100%. It's like trying to pour a gallon of milk into a shotglass. Look at what happened to Justice League!

This is precisely why I call you Eldor.

Sadly, the pandemic's timing is horrible ( as if there could ever be a good time ) since Geek Culture / 80s nostalgia is very popular!!

The good news is this started as a toy property and the toys are continuing for now. And we're getting two new animated shows.

Outside of Classics and the comics here and there, really nothing was happening with this property for the last 10 years. Things are at least happening now with two animated shows and new products. That's something.

A movie getting made would take a miracle at this point.
