New He-man says he’s ready to tackle Masters of the Universe

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Sony's big-budget reboot of He-Man and the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE will be released in March 2021. Noah Centineo (TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE) has been confirmed in the lead role of He-Man and today the young actor spoke about the taking on the big responsibility of the iconic role in Aaron and Adam Nee's reboot. Centineo said:

It’s a really big responsibility. This is like first one in, last one out every single day, which I’ve done before, but I’ve never done it on a studio level. Which, studio level is the same as indie, but like, they got playback… It’s a big opportunity and I feel more than ready to tackle it.

Centineo then spoke about the tone of the film:

It’s a new universe and it’s a new studio and their take on a universe. The Nee brothers, Adam and Aaron Nee, they’re directing it, and they’re the filmmakers in charge of the story, and they are doing one hell of a job developing the world and all these things, so. I can’t tell you what tone they’re going for, but they’re genius, so.

Centineo was also asked if he's started practicing He-Man's iconic "I have the power!" catchphrase, saying:

I’ve been screaming it until my voice is vocally fried, man.
