First Look at He-Man, Skeletor and Other Iconic Characters in Kevin Smith’s “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” [Images]
The battle for Eternia continues on Netflix this July 23rd.
The battle for Eternia continues in Netflix’s “Masters of the Universe: Revelation”, the Kevin Smith-produced He-Man series that is a direct continuation of the original ’80s cartoon from Mattel Television.
The streaming service shared today the first-look images of He-Man, voiced by Chris Wood, Skeletor (Mark Hamill), and several other beloved characters from the franchise, as well as the news that the first batch of five episodes will premiere on July 23, 2021.
The war for Eternia culminates in “Masters of the Universe: Revelation”, which picks up where the iconic characters left off decades ago.
“Narratively our show is set up as the next episode in the legacy ‘80s animated series that aired from 1983-1985,” Kevin Smith explained. “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. ”
In the new series: “After a cataclysmic battle between He-Man and Skeletor, Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. And after decades of secrets tore them apart, it’s up to Teela to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.”
The voice cast will include Mark Hamill, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Conroy, Tony Todd, Henry Rollins, Lena Headey, Alicia Silverstone, Justin Long and Jason Mewes.
Here’s the full breakdown:
- Mark Hamill as Skeletor
- Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn
- Chris Wood as Prince Adam / He-Man
- Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela
- Liam Cunningham as Man-At-Arms
- Stephen Root as Cringer
- Diedrich Bader as King Randor / Trap Jaw
- Griffin Newman as Orko
- Tiffany Smith as Andra
- Henry Rollins as Tri-Klops
- Alan Oppenheimer as Moss Man
- Susan Eisenberg as Sorceress
- Alicia Silverstone as Queen Marlena
- Justin Long as Roboto
- Jason Mewes as Stinkor
- Phil LaMarr as He-Ro
- Tony Todd as Scare Glow
- Cree Summer as Priestess
- Kevin Michael Richardson as Beast Man
- Kevin Conroy as Mer-Man
- Harley Quinn Smith as Ileena
“I watched all of the TV series growing up, it was everywhere in the ‘80s,” Kevin Smith explained. “These characters started off as toys and ended up becoming part of the global pop culture fabric. So much of this show has been possible because of the love and affection for this world at every level of production and the fandom surrounding this franchise. A big reason we got such top tier voice talent is because people genuinely want to be a part of this world. So many of us were touched by these stories and these characters early in our lives and were so happy to come back to Eternia. But even if you’ve never watched a single episode of the show or don’t know this universe at all, you can jump right into the story.”
“It’s a really classic, universal action-adventure epic about growth, discovery, magic, and power,” he adds. “This series explores destiny in a fresh way. There’s a lot of reconciling with secrets, betrayal, trust, acceptance, love, and ultimately, loss.”
