‘Masters of the Universe’ Movie Officially Cancelled at Netflix
The long-awaited live-action “Masters of the Universe” movie has been officially canceled at Netflix. The film, which was to star Kyle Allen as He-Man, had been in development for several years.
Netflix announced the cancellation of the film on Wednesday, citing “creative differences.” The film was to be directed by Adam and Aaron Nee, who had previously directed the 2022 film “The Lost City.”
The “Masters of the Universe” movie was based on the popular Mattel toy line and animated series. The franchise has had a long and complicated history on the big screen, with previous attempts to adapt it for film failing to get off the ground.
The cancellation of the Netflix film is a disappointment for fans of the franchise. However, it is not the end of the road for “Masters of the Universe.” Mattel is reportedly still looking for other ways to bring the property to the big screen.
Here are some additional details about the cancellation:
- The film was reportedly cancelled after the Nee brothers submitted a draft of the script that Netflix was not happy with.
- The film had a budget of $100 million, which would have made it one of the most expensive Netflix films ever made.
- The cancellation of the film is a blow to Netflix, which has been looking to expand its slate of original films.
