The main aspects of the two minute and 43 second trailer is that the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is going to combine epic scope, thrilling adventures, and hilarity.
Produced by Mattel Television and developed for television by Rob David (Masters of the Universe: Revelation), the new series reimagines the classic story of the Guardians of Grayskull. According to David, the latest iteration of the nearly 40-year-old franchise “brings a fresh stylized take on the world of Eternia, designed to reflect the sensibilities and aspirations of today’s kids, while celebrating the evergreen core truth of Masters of the Universe: we all have the power to become the best version of ourselves.”
Here’s the official synopsis: In Eternia, the first planet of creation, a demonic tyrant rises: Skeletor! With dark armies at his command, Skeletor is on the march, hell-bent on capturing Eternia’s kingdoms, and its ultimate prize – Castle Grayskull, the ancient fortress of mystery said to contain the greatest power in the universe. It’s up to He-Man, voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, and his brave squad of rookie heroes to stop Skeletor and restore the peace. Both sides come armed with enchanted Power Weapons – transforming them into Masters of the Primal Powers of the Universe. It’s Master vs. Dark Master, He-Man vs. Skeletor – fighting for control of Eternia, Castle Grayskull, and the fate of us all. In the end, who will become Master of the Universe?
