‘Masters of the Universe’ Trailer Reveals Two Classic Unannounced Villains – but One Fan-Favorite Character is Still Missing

by

The first full trailer for the movie is out, giving fans their first glimpse of Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Jared Leto as Skeletor, and the rest of the previously announced cast. The trailer also surprised viewers with the debut of some characters not previously mentioned in connection with the film – though one popular character is still nowhere to be seen.

The upcoming Masters of the Universe movie boasts a large and impressive cast. Nicholas Galitzine will play both Prince Adam and his heroic alter ego, He-Man, facing off against Jared Leto as the villain Skeletor (Keldor). Other actors and their roles include Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as both Professor Evelyn Powers and Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-At-Arms, Sam C. Wilson as Kronis/Trap Jaw, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Malcolm/Fisto, Sasheer Zamata as Suzie, James Purefoy as King Randor, Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena, Jon Xue Zhang as Ram-Man, and Kristen Wiig as Roboto.

The trailer also introduced Beast Man and Spikor, two classic villains from the original 1980s cartoon, which excited many fans. While these additions suggest more characters may be revealed, one noticeable absence stands out, especially given how closely the designs match the source material – the Sorceress has even appeared as a falcon. That missing character is Orko, the somewhat clumsy magician. There’s still a chance he’ll appear in the final movie, but fans will likely have to wait and see.

I really believe Nicholas Galitzine will be fantastic as He-Man. I think audiences will be happily surprised and thoroughly enjoy the movie, and I can’t wait for you to see it.

It’s still too soon to know for sure if the Masters of the Universe movie will be a hit, but initial excitement is a good sign.
