Mendes’ MASTERS is “different” to cartoons

The new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE movie, which features Camila Mendes in a lead role, will be different to the animated series it’s based upon.
Said Nicholas Galitzine (“The Idea of You”), who plays He-Man, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter : “Look, what I will say is our version is quite different from the original animation, which we all agree was camp within its own right and worked so well for the time. But there’s been a couple of iterations, obviously since there was the Revelation version of Master of the Universe, and the comics themselves. And we’re very much treating our script as as Bible, you know. But it’s kind of amazing to hear what this show meant to a lot of people. It was really formative for a lot of people, so it’s exciting to do something that will have a nostalgia element as well as hopefully attract a bunch of new fans.” Mendes plays Teela in the film, with Jared Leto, Idris Elba, Alison Brie, and Sam C.Wilson also starring. Travis Knight, who made “Bumblebee”, will direct the movie.
