Not a fan of Alison Brie (or any of the casting so far). Hopefully she (and this movie) will surprise me.

I haven't seen a single thing Brie has been in, but I am happy to see someone older being cast. Sarting to get excited about this..grew up on the cartoon, saw the movie in theaters... we'll see! Would love to see a LOTR prologue about Keldor becoming Skeletor - or maybe just the entire first movie. Set up a trilogy, bring in She-Ra in part two, etc.

Your idea sounds better than the "crash landed on Earth, returns to Eternia as a teen" premise they seem to be going with.

I hope it doesn't suck, but I can't say I'm all too optimistic.

What comes after "overly ambitious" on the spectrum of possibility? Because your idea is like three steps past that.

Jared Leto Confirmed As Skeletor In Amazon MGM’s ‘Masters Of The Universe’

'Masters Of The Universe' Movie Adds Jared Leto, Hafthor Bjornsson, More



Given his recent history, not sure this bodes well for this film...

Is this movie being developed as a tax write off? Because all the casting choices (and the plot) seem to be for maximum failure.

And, yeah, I like Leto but he needs to fire his agent.

Ugh. My interest in this just dropped. Not a fan of Leto whatsoever.

Leto used to be so liked and edgy. What happened? I can't believe his version of the Joker killed his career.

Um...

Or something to that effect?

Even that shitty band he was in was insanely popular.

I am aware of 30 Seconds to Mars, but cannot name even one of their songs. I am convinced he is still a good actor, he just needs to pick better projects. Although I am still curious regarding Ayer's cut of Suicide Squad. The tiny bits that have leaked suggest a much darker, and less randomly inserted, tone for Leto's portrayal of the Joker. Hell, even Affleck was a supporting actor in the original cut.

Can someone at Amazon MGM please wake up from whatever acid trip they're on and pull the plug on this already?

As if a He-Man movie was going to be some kind of masterpiece before Leto was cast.

Jared Leto is a very good actor. His performances in Dallas Buyers Club, Requiem for a Dream and Mr. Nobody weren't some amazing fluke. The Little Things opposite Denzel Washington and Rami Malek was his best performance in recent years. The problem is that Suicide Squad or Morbius are more talked about. In House of Gucci his performance was alright, the direction wasn't.

Like GoldenJCJ said already He-Man will most likely be more in the bad project column of his career choices.

Like I said before, I am convinced he is still a good actor, but the projects he's accepted lately are bad. Hence why I suggested he fire his agent (unless he's been ignoring good advice from his agent).

Leto is a full on method actor . . . I cannot wait for him to have all the flesh and muscle surgically removed from his face.

I always thought the Leto backlash was due to his "method acting" and behavior on set.

Insofar as Suicide Squad is concerned, that's part of it. But the backlash started when that first promo shot of Leto as the Joker was revealed.


I remember how my initial excitement for Leto as the Joker died when I saw that pic. Although I ended up warming to his performance, the look has always struck me as a desperate attempt to be more jarring than the initial response to Heath Ledger's look as the Joker.

If you are talking specific to Joker, ok. I believe it started long before that though.

I didn't realize his issues began before his turn as the Joker. That was the first time I ever saw hate for him.

Agree. And it’s not because of the cast. Its EARTH. With what was being said before of what the movie is gonna be about, and now with the new rumor flying around, just fucking throw it away. There’s no excuse anymore with cgi, In 87 it was a lame reason, but made sense. Today? No that shit dont fly anymore.

And. Skeletors 4 main henchmen. Evil lyn, tri klops, trap jaw and BEASTMAN , all relased by first 2 waves of toys, propably in 99% of cartoons, books, comics, Always first to be released in new lines of toys. Now we get Evil lyn, Tri klops, trap jaw and fucking goat man. Goat man, 1 book in 85, 2 seconds of shitty Kevin Smith cartoon. Con exclusive figure 10 years ago. Its gonna be muscle guy in a lucha mask with horns. Fuck off

Someone abort this thing before my childhood memories are tainted beyond the point of repair.

Eh, I still like the director and frankly, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn seems fitting

Leto as Skeletor will be fine as long as he is in heavy make up and used sparringly. The whole imagining of The Joker was bad in the Suicide Squad, that well exceeds Leto's influence on it, too.

I know nothing about Galitzine, he has the facial features of a He-Man type though Zac Efron and his current jaw are deadringers.

This film is not exactly in the position of being able to be picky with it's actors and Leto is certainly a talent.(baggage and all) I'm not wild about the Earth setup (there's no reason he can't just be somewhere on Eternia) but as long as it's just the first 30min (or less) I'll look past it. As mentioned, this is the best director this film could've gotten - animation and live action experience, etc.

I thought I was pretty up to speed on He-Man stuff, especially having most of the toys, but I can't recall ever hearing about Goat Man. Trap-Jaw and Triklops should be fun in live action.
