Written by Robbie Brenner is President of Mattel Studios and Chief Content Officer, “responsible for creating full-length feature films based on Mattel’s iconic portfolio of brands.“
After speaking at MIPCOM in Cannes, France (the world’s largest annual market for television and streaming content)…
…The Hollywood Reporter caught up with her about her upcoming slate of movies. This is what she had to say about the New “Masters of the Universe” Movie (including the reveal that she has seen a Director’s Cut of the film!):
On Visiting the Set:
"I went and visited the set last year, and out of all the movies that I’ve worked on in my entire life — even Barbie — it was [the biggest]. It was massive. I think we took over two or three sound stages. This was on eight back lots… [Characters] walking around that are eight-feet tall. There are these crazy characters in this movie.”
On seeing a Director’s Cut of the Movie:
“I just actually got to see a director’s cut of the movie, and [I was] absolutely blown away. That will be our second theatrical movie… I think it’s a perfect compliment to Barbie. I think people are going to be so excited. It is so much fun and feels so different.”
On Mattel Studios and the challenges ahead:
“I think people realize, ‘Okay, Mattel is here.’ We’re a force. Everything is not going to be Barbie, but at the same time, we mean business. We want to tell great stories.”
“I don’t feel any sort of impediments. I feel like we just have incredible opportunity with all of this IP. Now, with Mattel Studios having television and film sit under one umbrella and one ecosystem, there’s endless possibilities.”
The “Masters of the Universe” Movie is currently in Post-Production with the film scheduled to be released in cinemas worldwide on June 5th, 2026.
We’ll see you next time!
She is very pretty!
“[I was] absolutely blown away."
YES!!!!!!!!
It may blow all of us away but what else is she going to say?
@he-dad exactly, it’s her job to build hype, so take the comments with a huge grain of salt lol
At this point, only the trailer excites my curiosity, so please, please just bring it on already!
Some new set photos would excite me especially if it shows us some costumes or sets we haven’t seen before. I can’t wait to see how the Sorceress looks. I hope she has the Falcon motif.
Afraid of this: “ It is so much fun and feels so different”
I think she means it feels so different than Barbie.
Remember James Cameron is a fan and tries to build hype of the new terminator movies until they bomb. Then he says they suck. Why would that be? Oh yeah he gets money!!!
Dude don’t bring that bad James Cameron Terminator black magic in here. We need good karma 🤣
Ridley Scott! He’ll… oh, no, wait…
I’d rather see than hear more at this point but I still can’t help get more excited from PR speak. lol
How can a corporate be blown away by something different from money totally escapes my imagination.
