HE MAN MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Trailer Teaser (4K ULTRA HD) 2026

LINK

Teaser trailer lacks the unintentional homo erotic subtext that the original cartoon was famous for.

So a normal down on his luck Earth guy finds a magical something or other - in this case a sword - and gets sent to a fantastical land to help defeat the bad guy and/or save the land.

At least that's what I caught from this teaser.

They already did this with the Minecraft movie.

They even have a black dude who wasn't present in the original cartoon to get that diversity quota up.

Teaser trailers to promote the upcoming trailer are dumb. If people actually fall for this, they are dumb. Can't we just get a freaking trailer for the movie and stop this trailer for trailer nonsense?

Rant over

Apparently it will be more along the lines of how Superman’s parents sent him to Earth. Adam was sent to Earth as a baby to protect him. He is unaware of his identity at first.

Idris Elba as Man at Arms.

Not anymore. Now he’s black and has a Latino adopted daughter (Teela). It remains to be seen whether or not they give Teela the butch lesbian treatment like the Netflix animated series did.

Idris Elba can play any white character out there and I’m all for it.

He's a great actor but everyone that knows He -Man, knows Man at Arms is white. Besides for Tropic Thunder we don't get white actors to play black characters.

I don't know why they didn't make this film into a serious epic instead of what it clearly is... A combo of some. Jupiter Ascending and some Taika Waititi schlok... That won't appeal to anyone.

Milius gave everyone the blueprint 45 yrs ago with Conan and LOTR did the same 25 yrs ago.

Take the properties serious and they will be seriously good films.

This is going to be terrible.

I get what you're saying, but you have to remember that it's based on a toy line and it's kinda hard to make a serious epic movie when the main character is called "He-Man."

That said, Frank Langella played it totally straight as Skeletor in the 1987 film and was by far the best part of the movie.

But you can make a Barbie movie an angry feminist satire and it blows up?

Make a good movie. That's too much for Hollywood. They make shite. Their blockbusters are shite, their "arthouse" movies are shite, their overblown sadist horror schlock is shite.... they make shite. Bankers don't care. They have IP and they're going to milk every penny.

Let the best actor play the role, irrespective of the original character. Otherwise you are just doing DEI for white guys

Unless the character's race is important (T'Challa or LOTR Elves) or irrevocably changes the story for the worse (Fantastic 4 with Michael B Jordan, Snape)
