Sony's "Masters of the Universe"

[Danja]

Hollywood has been trying to bring Masters of the Universe back to the big screen for quite a while now with little success. Rather than returning to Eternia, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe have been stranded in development hell for over a decade, going through tons of writers, several directors and even multiple studios, with every attempt to reboot the property for a new feature film franchise hitting obstacles and setbacks. But recently, it’s looked like that is finally about to change.

With directors Aaron and Adam Nee onboard, Noah Centineo cast as Prince Adam/He-Man, and a 2021 release date set, Sony’s Masters of the Universe looks closer to happening than ever before. However, news broke recently that Masters of the Universe might not in fact be coming to a theater near you. That’s because Sony is reportedly looking into selling the project to Netflix, a deal that, if it goes through, would bring Masters of the Universe to the streaming service, not the silver screen.

Sometimes a difficult development is a blessing in disguise. The project has outlived the involvement of McG and David Goyer, which is most assuredly a good thing.

John Woo was attached at one point (he went back to Asia).
