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.
Last year, Mendes hyped up Masters of the Universe when she said, "I think one of the things I admire most about the film, and that I was so pleasantly surprised by when I read the script, is that it had the perfect balance of comedy and heart. It wasn't a movie that was completely making fun of itself the whole time, but it has a good sense of humour."
"I'm really, really proud of what we did. It's so hard to walk away from these movies because so much is going to be done in post that you're like, 'How do I assess what we just walked away from?'" the Teela actress continued. "But I just have a feeling about this one. I could be completely wrong, but I think it's very special."
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.
Check out this new poster for Masters of the Universe below, along with a PSA featuring Galitzine, Elba, and Mendes.
In Masters of the Universe, Director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia, where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto).
To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.
Written by Chris Butler and Aaron Nee & Adam Nee & Dave Callaham, and directed by Travis Knight, Masters of the Universe stars Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Jared Leto, and Idris Elba.
Masters of the Universe opens in theaters on June 5, later this year.
