Well, this is a surprise: Noah Centineo is in talks to play He-Man in Sony Pictures and Mattel Films’ long-in-development Masters of the Universe movie, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed.
The movie has been in development since at least 2007, when John Woo was attached to direct. Brothers Adam and Aaron Nee are helming this iteration of Masters, with the previous draft of the script written by Batman Begins and Blade scribe David S Goyer.
Centino is making a name for himself after breaking out last year as one of the romantic leads in Netflix’s popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. After working with the actor on the upcoming Charlie’s Angels reboot from director Elizabeth Banks, Sony was eager to find another project for him.
Still no word yet if Centino will go blonde to play He-Man and his pink-vested alter ego, Prince Adam, who defend the fantastical world of Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor. Fans of the popular ’80s toy line and animated series will recall that Adam turns himself into He-Man with the help of a magic sword and “By the POWER of GRAYSKULL!!!” (Ahem. Sorry.)
