Netflix’s He-Man Movie Has Kyle Allen Taking Up The Sword

The Power of Grayskull lives again as Kyle Allen (West Side Story, All My Life) has been cast as He-Man, and his alter ego Prince Adam, in the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie from Mattel, coming to Netflix. This will be only the second time Mattel’s iconic franchise will take on a live-action adventure. The film is expected to begin production in Summer 2022 and will be directed by The Nee Brothers (The Lost City, Band of Robbers), with a script by the Nees and David Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).

“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,” said Robbie Brenner, executive producer of Mattel Films. “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.”

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has already had two TV shows the past year with Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin’s Masters of the Universe: Revelations, as well as the more kid-friendly show developed by Robert David (Max Steel), both for Netflix.
