Now that Superman is out, let’s talk about the next big kino. The Masters of the Universe movie is coming on June 5, 2026—only in theaters. Directed by Travis Knight (ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, Transformers: Bumblebee), and starring Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, the film reportedly has a budget of around $200 million. Dolph Lundgren is rumored to make a cameo as King Grayskull.

The movie is said to be set 20% on Earth and 80% on Eternia, and it's reportedly very faithful to the 1980s cartoon and toy line. Honestly, I think this could be the next big event of 2026, the next Star Wars-like franchise. It has real potential.

Let’s discuss: What are your hopes, plot theories, rumors you've heard, and predictions for the box office?

You know i cry some times when i'm lying in bed

>another reverse isekai
lol there are now two he-man movies that are reverse isekai

why is hollywood so obsessed with it?

The show upstaged heman for that ugly dyke, this might do the same

>>212662793
But He Man will be only 10-15 minutes of the 2 hour movie. Lundgren was all on Earth minus 10 minutes on Eternia

>ugly dyke
Say that again

>>212662793
>why is hollywood so obsessed with it?
Saves money.

>no sexy outfits
no thanks

>>212663070
ugly dyke

>>212662651 (OP)
It must be nice to be an 80’s toy franchise and get to enjoy a new reboot every 10 years until the end of time.

Why are 80s that strong? Where is 90s nostalgia?

>>212662762
Just to get it all out, what's in my head.

>>212663070
I am so conflicted on this. On the one hand, I like this actress. Even if Riverdale was garbage she was at least good in it, and she's hot. On the other I fucking loathe redhead raceswaps (which they've done for basically every redheaded character in this film).
But at least they dyed her hair.

>>212663339
I'll kiss your sister

>>212663339
90s will be next, after the 80s gets milked

>>212663339
A lot of 90s franchises were either continuations, or imitations, of 80s properties. Street Sharks, Biker Mice From Mars, were both TMNT rip-offs.
The few original programs like Captain Planet have ended up just being referenced in with shows like Funny or Die, Robot Chicken, and of course Rick and Morty.
For some reason most millennials want to create bullshit "original" programs that are just scatter-shot references to the things they grew up with. Like how Star Butterfly vs. The Forces of Evil is just Sailor Moon.

>>212663646
90s had more funny, shorter cartoons. 80s was endless heroes vs bad guys toyline cartoons.

>>212663463
AND I-I FEELIN', A LITTLE PECULIAR!

>mexican heman
pass

Does anyone under the age of 40 give a fuck about He-Man?

>>212662651 (OP)
>Now that superman flopped lets talk about the next flop

>>212665275
Nope, but they're the guys pushing it on their kids and the ones who spend a fuck ton of money on merch.

>>212665130
So I wake in the morning and I step outside

>>212662651 (OP)
Looking forward to shitting all over it and its inevitably Jewish star, and then not watching it. Easy prediction I'll never verify: Some nasty bitch is really in charge and saves the fucking day.

>>212665275
Yeah, z*****s would prefer if it was She-Man.

>>212666344
I'd like a $200 million movie about She Ra played by Sydney Sweeney

>>212663070
>showing no skin
Flop

>>212665439
And I take a deep breath and I get real high

>>212663214
Who enjoys it?

>>212663599
Pulp Fiction: Chapter II

>>212665202
Wtf Is this real?

>>212665275
No one at all givers a shit about He Man , but it's a meaty target for the disease and misery spreaders in Fuckville, California.

After the Netflix series that Kevin Smith made, I don't want to see a Masters of the Universe movie. The 1987 one with Dolph and Langella is still comfy and everybody overlooks the 2000's remake series.

>>212665275
>>212667084
Dear Christ I just realised in like 15/20 years Hollywood is going to try doing big-screen live-action movies of shit like Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and fucking Star vs. The Forces of Evil.

>>212667405
>in like 15/20 years
5 year tops, capeshit is dying and live-action of classic animations are not working. They just need one of these to work (Adventure Time probably) to create a new fade for the next 10-15 years.

>>212667573
I wonder what will happen when they make Finn black in the live-action adventure time, or will Hollywood have finally learned by then?

>>212662793
because then they can shove their stupid jokes and morality lectures into it. Do you remember the anti meat nag in the first movie?

>>212665202
>>mexican heman
He-Mang

>>212667405
How do you know that last show? Zoomer?

>>212667405
I'd expect a live-action Stephen Universe show on Netflix within the decade, it's the perfect brand for nostalgia-baiting millennial who will by then be in their mid to late 30s

>>212663599
I don’t think so. 80’s nostalgiawank has been going on longer than the actual decade, with no signs of slowing down. I think it’s more likely we just keep rebooting 80’s IPs in an endless cycle for a ‘new generation’ every ten years. So in the 2030s we’ll still be getting new iterations of TMNT and Transformers and Ghost Busters.

>>212668301
Because there is a LOT of porn.

>>212668336
>it's the perfect brand for nostalgia-baiting millennial
Steven Universe is for Zoomers, anything made after 2010 is for Zoomers. Millennials is any show from 1990/5-2005.

>>212666689
And I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT'S GOING ON?

We got this Skeletor, why the fuck do we want anything else?

>>212668681
More specifically why the fuck are we getting Jared Leto as Skeletor? Seriously why does Hollywood have such a major hard on for Leto right now? Sure the guy is a decent actor and I liked him in Requiem for a Dream and Lord of War, but what the fuck?

>>212666834
Very real

>>212662651 (OP)
BOMB

It's going to bomb, but I hope they treat Skeletor as this horrific entity with a tragic backstory as opposed to just a joke.

>>212662651 (OP)
This will make $1 billion

>>212665275
I do, the best He-Man show is from 2002 and I watched it as a kid around 2006-2008. I'm now 26.
