Who grins more devilishly than Idris Elba when he's about to enter the fray? Because when up against a bigger army, to the actor's Duncan, that means there are more targets!
In the upcoming action adventure, Skeletor took his family and destroyed his world... but the prodigal son has returned! And it's his time to stand tall and save Eternia!
There's a new He-Man on the horizon and dare we say... it's about time! Yes, you had me at Skeletor! By the Power of Grayskull!
10-year-old Prince Adam (Galitzine) crashes to Earth and is separated from his magical Sword of Power — the only link to his home on Eternia. After being separated for 15 years, he tracks it down... and is whisked away back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish, evil rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.
The film stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man; Jared Leto as Skeletor; Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw; Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops; Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man; Camila Mendes as Teela; Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress; James Purefoy as King Randor; Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn; Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena; Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Malcolm/Fisto; Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms; Sasheer Zamata as Suzie, John Xue Zhang as Ram-Man; Kristen Wiig as Roboto; and Christian Vunipola as Hussein.
LAIKA CEO Travis Knight directs the movie from Mattel Films, Amazon MGM Studios, and Escape Artists, with a screenplay by Chris Butler, who wrote and directed both 'ParaNorman' and 'Missing Link' for LAIKA.
Mattel Films’ Robbie Brenner, and Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch produce. Tim Burke serves as VFX supervisor; Rich Yeomans serves as VFX producer. VFX studios involved include Cinesite, Clear Angle Studios, DNEG, ILM, Proof, Inc., and Rodeo FX.
