Written by Back in January, He-Man and She-Ra fans were absolutely exhilarated when the long-awaited “Masters of the Universe” Movie Teaser Trailer was finally released. Fans were pumped not only by the amazing visuals, but with the thrilling music behind the imagery as well.
That music track for the teaser trailer, composed by awesome friend to HE-MANIA.COM Eddie Thoneick, is titled “Leap of Faith” and available on SPOTIFY and on YouTube. (You can read the genisis of that music HERE.)
Then on February 27th we learned the exciting news that Legendary guitarist Brian May (best known from the iconic rock band Queen) was working on the “Masters of the Universe” movie soundtrack with Composer Daniel Permberton and director Travis Knight! Based on this news, we knew sweet guitar riffs were definitely in our future!
So then on March 31st when the second trailer debuted… when fans heard sweet guitar paired with an awesome synthesizer riffing off a very filmiliar theme from the classic 1983 cartoon series “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe”, many fans assumed it was Brian May and company. NOT SO FAST!
We learned this great music track was also created by Eddie Thoneick…
…alongside Blitz//Berlin, a trio of Canadian composers that creates experimental music as well as scores for both film and television!
And with Brendan Skywalker on guitar, it wasn’t Brian May at all… a crushing realization that this song (no matter how cool) would likely not be used in the actual “Masters of the Universe” film nor in the soundtrack.
It is certainly a bummer not only because it incorporated the classic Filmation He-Man cartoon theme into the song… but because the talent involved absolutely rocked it. What an amazing track.
Hopefully this song will be released independent of the second “Masters of the Universe” trailer as well, just like “Leap of Faith”.
We’ll see you next time.

Brendan Skywalker? That is a kick-ass name!
@asterstar lol 😂
That is truly a bummer to hear but I remain hopeful – all 4 releases we’ve had (last summer’s logo reveal, teaser trailer teaser, teaser trailer, most recent trailer) have all had at least a bit of it, with the teaser to the teaser and the last trailer REALLY playing into the theme. I have to think (and hope) they’re doing this because they know how important that theme is to us (since we’re clearly their first target). I will be incredibly disappointed if we don’t get it in some capacity.
I think one fun idea could be ending it like the end of “The Greatest Adventures of All” where the Sorceress gives her epilogue and then they jump into the theme full speed:
59 days until the movie y’all. They better hurry up and finish the real music.
Bummer but just give me the Spotify link and all is forgiven.
For real though the track is excellent but i also cant wait to hearqhat DanielPemberton has crafted!
Score has been done for a while. Daniel has just been working on the final audio mix the past few weeks which is either finished or getting close to the finish line
@dgsimo If it’s already done dgsimo I think they should have used it in the trailer. It would be nice to hear what we can expect to hear in the movie.
It’s not very often the final score gets used in trailers and I imagine they’re focusing more on getting the film in the can. Trailers and marketing more often than not also are done by third parties too.
At this point, they should just have Eddie do the soundtrack. Never in a million years did I think that it was the same guy on both trailers.
This here. I have been around a long time and I never heard of a musician scoring both trailers but is not part of the movie’s permanent ost.
I’m hoping for an original score that’s very John Williamsy.
