McG, director of movies like Charlie’s Angels and Terminator Salvation, might actually be bringing us a Masters of the Universe movie.
So far, the only Masters of the Universe movie we have ever gotten is the Canon Films 80s adaptation that was critically-panned (though it indirectly led to the creation of the hilariously dreadful movie Cyborg). There have been various attempts over the past 25 or 30 years to make another one that lives up to the popularity of the He-Man franchise, but they have all burned out or stalled.
Now that He-Man has faded into nostalgia territory, though, movie studios think that they can use the property to get parents to watch the movie and to get kids interested in the series as well.
This new movie has no firm plans and not much is certain about it, but it with a director attached, it could actually move forward. McG is usually not a very widely-praised director despite making several good movies, so this isn’t Earth-shattering news or anything, but for fans of Masters of the Universe, it might just be the best news they’ve heard in a while.
