Hot damn! Did you hear? Jared Leto has signed on to play Skeletor in a new live-action Masters Of The Universe movie!
We’ve known about a reboot to the franchise since 2007, but things have stalled multiple times with director and writer changes. This live-action movie was first announced as a Netflix project in ’22, with West Side Story’s Kyle Allen set to star as He-Man. That’s no longer happening.
However, earlier this year, Amazon MGM announced they acquired the project, and enlisted Travis Knight to direct. It’s now coming out June 5, 2026.
Now, this past Friday (December 20), Jared Leto’s was announced to be in the movie, taking on the role of Skeletor, Eternia’s greatest supervillain!
Alongside Jared Leto, the movie stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and Alison Brie as Skeletor’s lieutenant, Evil-Lyn. Other actors signed on: House Of The Dragon’s Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Game Of Thrones’ Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, Riverdale’s Camila Mendes as He-Man’s companion, Teela, and Idris Elba as Teela’s father, Man-at-Arms.
Of course, you’ll know that the original He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe series aired between 1983-85 with 130 episodes.
