I’m probably quite a bit older than some of you, but He-Man was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid!

I was so excited when I learned that Netflix and Mattel FIlms were partnering for a live-action version of ‘Masters of the Universe’!

Talk about a blast from the past, and something I can totally enjoy with my own children once it comes out.

There hasn’t been a live-action He-Man film since 1987 with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man, so it’s been way too long!

This new movie has been talked about for years, and I seriously thought it was never going to happen.

They just announced that they have found He-Man for the new live-action movie!

Kyle Allen (‘West Side Story’) will be filling the role of He-Man, otherwise known as Prince Adam!

In Masters of the Universe, an orphan named Adam discovers he is a prince destined to be the savior of a faraway land and must quickly learn of his power and the importance of saving his true home from an evil force.

According to a press release

The Live-Action ‘Masters Of The Universe’ Movie

It seems like the ’80s are in once again and my heart couldn’t be more full!

Mattel and Netflix have partnered in the past over He-Man when creating ‘Masters of the Universe: Revelation’ and ‘He-Man and the Masters of the Universe’.

Masters of the Universe is an iconic property that shaped the imaginations of an entire generation of kids with the message of becoming the best version of yourself. With our partners at Netflix, we look forward to showing audiences that anything can happen in Eternia. We are continuing to unlock this global franchise in new ways, and we can’t wait to see Kyle battle it out with Skeletor in this epic live-action saga.

While we wait for the live-action He-Man movie we can watch ‘He-Man and the Masters of the Universe‘ season two when it releases on Netflix on March 3rd.
