Masters of the Universe is about the popular superhero He-Man, and Jared Leto plays his nemesis, Skeletor. Leto had been having a rough time at the box office as his last big-budget Disney movie, Tron: Ares, was a massive flop, and even the films before it did not leave a mark financially. This could turn his career around once again. The upcoming superhero fantasy film has a very low target worldwide to surpass the lifetime of Tron Ares. Keep scrolling for the deets.
Directed by Travis Knight, the upcoming movie features an ensemble cast led by Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, alongside Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Kristen Wiig, Morena Baccarin, and Idris Elba. The film premiered earlier this month and received mixed reviews in its early reception.
