This film adaptation, directed by Travis Knight (known for "Bumblebee" and as CEO of LAIKA), is poised to take "Masters of the Universe" in a fresh direction, while staying true to the original themes of power and transformation.
From Prince Adam to Defender of Eternia
The upcoming "Masters of the Universe" movie will focus on a young Prince Adam who crash lands on Earth, separated from the Power Sword—the only link he has left to Eternia. Twenty years later, Adam recovers the magical weapon and is thrust into an intergalactic battle against Skeletor to defend his homeland.
