A new report at The InSneider indicates that Jared Leto has been offered the role of the villain Skeletor in the upcoming live-action “Masters of the Universe” movie at Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films.
The potential news follows just days after “Community” and “GLOW” actress Alison Brie has been set to play Skeletor’s second-in-command Evil-Lyn in the film.
If accurate, he would join a cast that includes Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man and Camila Mendes as royal guard captain Teela. Frank Langella played the Skeletor role in the prior 1980s live-action film, while Mark Hamill more recently voiced the role for Kevin Smith’s animated series.
Travis Knight directs the film that centers on Price Adam of Eternia who, thanks to his Power Sword, turns into He-Man and is embued with superhuman strength and abilities. He uses those abilities to defend his native planet and Castle Grayskull.
The property is best known for the iconic 1983 animated series which was previously adapted to the big screen in live-action form in 1987.
Knight will direct from a screenplay by Chris Butler while Robbie Brenner, Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch are producing.
“Masters of the Universe” will score a worldwide theatrical release on June 5th 2026.
