With Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, the new Masters of the Universe movie may move away from the confusing tone.
Galitzine chronicles the various iterations of the franchise and the script and is regarded as the bible.
Departing from the camp of the original series may attract new fans, but risks alienating loyal fans.
After what felt like endless delays and false starts Masters of the Universe appears to be the first live-action film These characters from 1987. While more details for this movie are still under wraps, it looks like the man who will be playing He-Man/Prince Adam, Nicholas Galitzine, has lightened the tone of the story a bit.
One of the keys to the original Masters of the Universe animated series and the first film Frank Langella starred as Skeletor It was the heavily muscled warriors fighting for the fate of more than just their planet. However, these battles and the stories that ensued were less violent than confusing and entertaining, complete with War Cat, a cowardly cat who had not been transformed and was not ready to go into battle. However, the new film may move away from embracing camp.

“What I’m saying is that our version is completely different from the original animation, which we all agree is camp in its own right, and it worked very well for the time. the actor explained. “But there have been several iterations since then there was Revelation version of Masters of the Universeand the comics themselves.”
“And we treat our script very much like the Bible, you know. But it’s amazing to hear what this show means to so many people,” Galitzine continued. “It was really formative for a lot of people, so it’s exciting to do something that will carry an element of nostalgia and hopefully bring in a lot of new fans.”
The announcement that the series is moving away from the tone of the original series will almost certainly be welcomed by some people who were hoping for something a little better than what the original movie had to offer. While this film has its serious sides, the writing and casting lead to a bit more comedy in this edition. On the other hand, when talking about a new installment Masters of the Universe franchise, the film will have to win over people who are loyal fans. And these devoted fans love that the cartoon is confusing, and that endeared them to a degree. A new movie can either give a franchise a new start or set it back in a big way.
