EXCLUSIVE: Idris Elba is set to join Masters of the Universe, the Travis Knight-directed film for Amazon MGM. Sources said that Elba will play the role of Duncan, Man-At-Arms. The film is a coproduction between Escape Artists and Mattel.

Pic stars Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, and Camila Mendes as Teela. Scripted by Chris Butler, the film is produced by Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Robbie Brenner and Steve Tisch.

Elba is repped by The Artists Partnership and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole. He’s filming Kathryn Bigelow’s untitled White House thriller for Netflix, and provides the voice of Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Duncan is a good guy and for centuries has been the weapons master and combat instructor to the royal family, and is also called Man-At-Arms. He was trained by Dekker and is a veteran of the Great Unrest, and he was tasked by King Randor to create the elite strike force, which he named The Masters of the Universe. Man-At-Arms and his adopted daughter Teela often scout the borders of Eternia for signs of lurking evil.
