Written by There is plenty of exciting info to report on the new “Masters of the Universe” Movie thanks to the April 2026 Edition of EMPIRE Magazine (out now).
When filming began for the new “Masters of the Universe” Movie and behind-the-scenes photos began circulating featuring a muscled Prince Adam wearing pink… we immediately noticed a similarity between the movie’s production design and the 1983 Filmation Cartoon “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe“.
Well now, the film’s production designer revealed that having an aesthetic close to the Filmation Cartoon was actually the movie’s mission.
Production Designer Guy Hendrix Dyas
"Our mission on this was to be as purely faithful to the original ’80s animation as we possibly could without it getting distracting or silly. This was a world that needed to be rendered in all its original, wacky, Technicolor madness.”
Empire Magazine’s “Masters Of The Universe” issue is on newsstands now.
We’ll see you next time.
Dilly dilly!
I’m waiting for the watchathon post but instead I find this. You don’t know how unbelievable happy this makes me.
It makes sense. No He-Man cartoon has matched its popularity. I hope the 200X and Revelation fans can live with that.
This is so very encouraging to read!
