What to Expect in Masters of the Universe?
The official synopsis reads: “10-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword — the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor.

A live-action reboot of Masters of the Universe has been in the works for nearly two decades. Sony and Netflix were the two studios closest to bringing the project to the screen. In July 2023, Netflix scrapped their live-action Masters of the Universe film from Adam and Aaron Nee. Kyle Allen was attached to star. Netflix reportedly spent $30 million to develop the film.
Masters of the Universe has existed for over four decades, dating back to the toy line’s initial release in 1982. The believed animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, ran from 1983 to 1985. The series led to numerous reboots, reveals, and spin-offs.
The only live-action Masters of the Universe film was released in 1987, with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man.
