Good news, He-Man fans! Looks like that Masters of the Universe reboot, which wasunceremoniously scrapped by Netflixlast summer, might be getting made after all…
According toDeadline, Travis Knight is now being eyed to direct Mattel’s reimagining of the 1983 animated series, which in turn was based on the toy line that debuted one year earlier. The publication states that while negotiations are ongoing and that “other elements on the project are still coming together”, it’s likely that Knight’s deal will be finalized soon.
If all things go well for this new take on Masters of the Universe, it’s sure to center on otherworldly being Prince Adam, a nine-year-old who crash lands on Earth after being separated from his Magical Sword – the only link to his home planet, Eternia. Years later, adult Adam tracks down the powerful weapon, and finds himself thrust into a cosmic battle against a whole bunch of evil forces, including Skeletor. To beat the baddies, Adam soon realizes that he first must uncover the mysteries of his past to become He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.
