The last we heard on the new Masters of the Universe film, David S. Goyer stepped back from directing. His treatment will still be used for the script and he’ll continue to executive produce the movie. Instead Aaron and Adam Nee will direct the film.
Of course beyond those technical details and some concept art, we have little idea about what the story will be. However, That Hashtag Show appears to have new info on the movie’s plot and an interesting new twist for Skeletor and He-Man. The two characters will, in fact, be brothers.
As they explained,
“Our source has indicated to us that in the upcoming film, King Randor will be presented as the great warrior-king of Eternia, a descendant of the Grayskulls, and the father of two sons: Adam and Keldor! As the film begins, Keldor is the chosen heir to the throne and his brother, Adam, is young, unfit and a bit of a black sheep. Where Adam’s relationship with his father is strained, Keldor is the epitome of a perfect son, beloved by his father…until the fate of Eternia is put on the line. With his kingdom on the line, Randor puts his people first, betraying Keldor, inciting the series of events that leads to him becoming the iconic Skeletor!”
They continue,
“The film will follow the meek and uncertain Adam as he assembles a group of heroes to take on his fallen brother and his collection of cronies. As you might expect, some familiar faces will be joining Adam in the fight.”
Aside from those iconic characters, the site also suggests we’ll be seeing other characters like Man-at-Arms, Zodak, Teela, Orko, Stratos, Beast Man, Trap Jaw and Evil-Lyn.
We’ll discover more as we approach the release date on December 18, 2019.
