Sony's big-budget reboot of He-Man and the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE starring Noah Centineo (TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE) was recently removed from its March 2021 release date. But today we're hearing that the film is still in the works and will (finally) begin filming this summer.

Centineo just held a lengthy interview with something called Harpers Bazaar and the subject of Masters and Universes came up. The site writes:

For the Masters of the Universe, Centineo, in preparation to play He-Man, bulked up 30 pounds of muscle last year (eating 11 eggs for breakfast on the regular), only to then shed the weight because production pushed filming back to this summer.

And that makes sense. All of this seemed to be happening really fast in my eyes. Good to know the powers that be behind the scenes took a step back and shifted their shooting schedule to make sure everything was good to go. At least I hope that's what's going on. We'll keep you updated.

When the evil Skeletor (Frank Langella) finds a mysterious power called the Cosmic Key, he becomes nearly invincible. However, courageous warrior He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) locates inventor Gwildor (Billy Barty), who created the Key and has another version of it. During a battle, one of the Keys is transported to Earth, where it is found by teenagers Julie (Courteney Cox) and Kevin (Robert Duncan McNeill). Now both He-Man and Skeletor's forces arrive on Earth searching for the potent weapon.

The 1987 version was directed by Gary Goddard from a screenplay written by David Odell based on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe by Mattel. Yoram Globus, Menahem Golan, and Edward R. Pressman produced and the film starred Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Courteney Cox, James Tolkan, Christina Pickles, Meg Foster, and Robert Duncan McNeill. Goyer is still an executive producer of the new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, which is set to kick all the ass off your eyeballs sometime in 2021. Principal photography kicks off this Summer.
