First Images Revealed From Masters of the Universe Revelation

Netflix and Mattel Television revealed the first images today for their exciting new animated series, Masters of the Universe: Revelation. Here is what show-runner Kevin Smith had to say to the fans in a recent press release:

Narratively our show is set up as the next episode in the legacy ‘80s animated series that aired from 1983-1985. This is a continuation of that story. We’re playing with the original mythology and characters, and revisiting and digging deeper into some of the unresolved storylines. Visually we also made the conscious decision to lean into the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE line of toys for inspiration as well. Mattel owns this entire vast library of that artwork, so right away we wanted the show to open with classic pieces of that artwork. Mattel has been committed to this look since they first started as a toy line in the ’80s, and now we’re leaning into it and honoring it.

The Netflix series will be split into two parts, with the five episodes of Part 1 premiering on Netflix on July 23, 2021. The new series will star Chris Wood as He-Man, Mark Hamill as Skeletor, Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, Alicia Silverstone as Queen Marlena, Kevin Conroy as Mer-Man, and the original voice of Skeletor, Alan Oppenheimer, will now voice the character Moss Man.
