Noah Centineo In Talks For He-Man Role In ‘Masters of the Universe‘ Movie

Sony’s Masters of The Universe has found its He-Man in internet sensation Noah Centineo.

Masters of the Universe has had a long run to make it to the big screen. It’s been in development hell for a while and now it looks like things are finally on the right track. According to The Wrap, Noah Centineo is in talks for the role of He-Man in the live-action movie that’s being directed by Adam and Aaron Nee.

Noah Centineo had his career launched when he charmed everyone in the hit Netflix film To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Now, the actor will have a chance to charm audiences on a much larger scale as He-Man. Noah Centineo is a great pickup by the studio and I’m exited to see what’s next.

While David S. Goyer was previously in talks to direct the Masters of the Universe film before stepping away to focus on other projects, he remained on board as an executive producer and screenwriter for the project. Sony has hired Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, whose previous credits include Iron Man and Transformers: The Last Knight, to write a new draft of the Masters of Universe script.

Based on the Mattel franchise of the same name, Masters of the Universe centers on the conflict between He-Man, the secret identity of Prince Adam, and the villainous sorcerer Skeletor on the planet Eternia. The franchise has previously spawned an animated TV series that ran from 1983 to 1985 and 1987 live-action film starring Dolph Lundgren.

Sony’s Matthew Milam will oversee the project for the studio and Mattel is a partner on the film. Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch are producing alongside Franklin
