Not interesting at all, but Jared Leto is older than Frank Langella was when he played Skeletor :lol:

Alison Brie on Her Festive New Role for Macy’s and Her Supervillain Turn as Evil-Lyn in the He-Man Film
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifes ... 236046970/
The 41-year-old Glow star will play the evil witch Evil-Lyn opposite of Nicholas Galitzine’s He-Man in the upcoming Masters of the Universe, set to be released in theaters worldwide on June 5, 2026. “Actors always say that villains have the most fun, and that’s probably true,” says Brie. “I’ve played morally compromised people but not a truly deliciously sinister evil villain. I’ve been trying to manifest playing a villain in a superhero movie, and [this is] answering that call for me.”

She continues, “I read the script and I think it’s really clever. It has a really great take on He-Man, and Nick Galitzine is really talented. Those are the reasons I said yes.”

Of the original 1980s animated series, “I definitely remember it being on, and I went back and started watching it again. It’s much funnier than I remember. Evil-Lyn and Skeletor have a contentious relationship,” one that she’s excited to explore onscreen, she says.

Jared Leto to Play Skeletor in ‘Masters of the Universe’ Movie; Cast Also Set for Villains Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops and Goat Man
https://variety.com/2024/film/news/jare ... 236255654/
By the power of Grayskull, Jared Leto will become a jacked-up, cranially exposed supervillain!

The Oscar-winning star of “House of Gucci” and “Dallas Buyers Club” is joining Amazon MGM’s upcoming live-action film “Masters of the Universe” as Skeletor, the skull-faced archenemy of Eternia’s greatest warrior, He-Man (Nicholas Galitzine).

Director Travis Knight (“Bumblebee”) has also cast at least some of Skeletor’s coterie of henchmen. Sam C. Wilson (“House of the Dragon”) will play Trap Jaw; Kojo Attah (“The Beekeeper”) will play Tri-Klops; and Hafthor Bjornsson (“Game of Thrones”) will play Goat Man.

They’ll join the previously cast Alison Brie (“Promising Young Woman”) as Skeletor’s lieutenant, Evil-Lyn; Camila Mendes (“Riverdale”) as He-Man’s trusted compatriot, Teela; and Idris Elba (“Hijack”) as Teela’s father, Man-at-Arms.

Chris Butler (“ParaNorman”) — who worked with Knight on Laika’s upcoming stop-motion animated feature “Wildwood” — wrote the latest draft of the screenplay, following writers David Callaham, and Aaron and Adam Nee. Escape Artists and Mattel Films are producing the film, which is scheduled to open on June 5, 2026.

Nicholas Galitzine:
Pivoting to your role as He-Man, you been binge-watching the old cartoon at all? How does it compare to the film?

I have, yeah. Look, what I will say is our version is quite different from the original animation, which we all agree was camp within its own right and worked so well for the time. But there’s been a couple of iterations, obviously since there was the Revelation version of Masters of the Universe, and the comics themselves. And we’re very much treating our script as as Bible, you know. But it’s kind of amazing to hear what this show meant to a lot of people. It was really formative for a lot of people, so it’s exciting to do something that will have a nostalgia element as well as hopefully attract a bunch of new fans.

Nicholas Galitzine Teases He-Man Preparation For ‘Masters Of The Universe’
https://deadline.com/2025/01/nicholas-g ... 236246939/
“No pressure, I just have to embody the strongest man in the universe,” he joked.

He continued, detailing the prep: “There’s been a lot of eating and weightlifting, a lot of stunts. I’m eating about 4,000 calories a day, but the amount of physical work I’m doing, you end up hungry at the end of the day, which is quite surprising. This is the fun part.”

It’s not all breezy, Galitzine continued, echoing similar sentiments shared by actors who’ve previously portrayed superheros about the laborious (and often cruel) work of a strict and grueling regimen.

“I will eventually go into what’s called the cutting phase, where I’m going to be starved and so rude to everyone. I can only apologize for the person I’m going to become in a few months’ time,” the Mary & George actor said.
