In a realm where sorcery meets science, The Masters of the Universe set forth to protect all of Eternia from the evil onslaught of Skeketor and his evil forces. It's an epic tale of good versus evil, where there is new danger and suspense at every turn.

The story we all loved from the 80's is reborn and relaunched for a new era.

Under the direction of the Sorceress, He-Man sets forth on a mission to destroy an ancient artifact before it can fall into the wrong hands. But things don't go as the heroes had planned when He-Man faces opposition of an unexpected origin.

In August 2019, Kevin Smith announced at the 2019 Power Con that he and Netflix were developing a new series titled Masters of the Universe: Revelation that will be a direct sequel to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

On February 14, 2020, the full voice cast was confirmed, which includes Mark Hamill providing the voice for Skeletor, Chris Wood voicing Prince Adam and He-Man, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, and Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn. The series features many characters never before seen in animated form, such as Scareglow, Blast-Attak, Andra and He-Ro; incorporating a wide range of Masters of the Universe lore over its long history and varied incarnations.

The new series of 5 episodes made its debut on Netflix on July 23, 2021.

'Masters of the Universe' Movie to Be Helmed by The Brothers Nee

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is sure taking its sweet, celestial time in getting a live-action, big-screen reboot off the ground. You might even say it feels like an Eternia since we last got an update on Sony Pictures / Mattel's planned production. The script for this reboot, once known as Grayskull, has passed through the word processors of such screenwriters as Justin Marks, Evan Daugherty, Mike Finch and Alex Litvak, Richard Wenk, Jeff Wadlow, and Christopher Yost to name a "few." Such notable names as Jon M. Chu, Harald Zwart, Chris McKay, Mike Cahill, McG, and most recently, David S. Goyer were tapped to direct. But when Goyer passed on the project, the director's chair was left vacant once more ... until today.

Variety reports that the directing duo The Brothers Nee, otherwise known as Aaron and Adam Nee, will be at the helm of the sword-and-sorcery-meets-sci-fi adaptation. Goyer is currently credited as a screenwriter and executive producer on the project, which will be based on the popular 80s toyline from Mattel. The write-up also stresses that Goyer is "extremely involved" with the film's development and only passed due to prior engagements, but little other information is available. The reboot currently has a December 18, 2019 release date, so obviously the plan is to get the cast into place soon so that it can enter into production and stay on schedule.

If you don't know the Nee Brothers, you're not alone. This project offers a major chance for the "rising stars" to capitalize on their critically acclaimed 2015 indie thriller Band of Robbers.
