By the Power of Grayskull, IT’S HERE!!!!!!! !t is that time again, time to watch Prince Adam, Teela, Man-At-Arms, Skeletor and MORE in a brand new second official trailer for Masters of the Universe!
Now that the trailer dropped, lets talk about! We’ll be streaming HE-MANIACS LIVE throughout the day, so be sure to check us out on YouTube to join in the celebration! A NEW TRAILER IS FINALLY HERE!
We have the Power!
Looks fantastic! Definitely looks like they have ditched the secret identity which I personally think is for the best.
Oh god no, that really is a Marvel knockoff. Not my idea of MOTU I'm afraid.
I was trying soooo hard to not watch any other trailers since I want to be surprised when I'm there to watch. I failed. I think they are giving us very very measured snippets of Skeletor and Cringer/BattleCat. I think it's the right move. I think the tone is where it needs to be. It's finally here, the talk of it being in development hell for decades is over. Can't wait.
My biggest relief will definitely be Skeletor's voice! I was apprehensive about this inappropriate and humorous Filmation voice returning. Unless, of course, the film itself had been promoted as a real joke. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

I kinda found it flat, especially for a dude who's blue with glowing red eyes. For me he needed to lean into Langella-measured theatricality a bit more. I know he's supposed to be in charge at that point but he needs to be notable (Skeletor is as crucial as He-Man, if not more so) and not just another above it all Marvel villain.
Loved it. Very unique opening scene for a trailer. I like that Adam still has all is memories of Eternia so we don't have to spend the first 3/4 of the movie watching him try to regain them. He can just jump right in and keep the pace brisk. It's great getting to see more of the other Masters, and the costumes look just realistic enough without losing their unique design from the cartoon. Skeletor's voice was a little underwhelming but not awful. That seems like a fine line to walk to make sure it's not too over the top while also not too menacing. I'll pass final judgment when the movie comes out and we hear more lines. They may even take fan reactions into account and do some last minute voice altering. Totally not a deal breaker for me though. Only 66 days and less than 30 for the video game, so I'll have that to keep me from chewing my nails in anticipation.
I think there's not enough of Skeletor's voice heard to really make a call, but I'm glad its not Filmation. Those voices are best left in the past.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!
DO YOU BELIEVE ME NOW?????
TRUST IN TRAVIS!!!!!
Skeletor's voice is trash, does not fit the character at all...and why all villains must always speak with the British accent? cliché
@yen1893 Would you prefer a deep south accent? 🤣
What voice would "fit" the character? A cheesy Oppenheimer impression?
Well something approaching the 200x voice would work to my mind? Slightly theatrical but still retaining menace. I saw a suggestion elsewhere, and I think it's genius, Kurtwood Smith AKA Clarence Bodicker. Imagine if they'd announced him as the voice, people would have been much happier than immediately cringing at Jared Leto. And realistically it could be anybody under that suit and CGI. You wouldn't even know that was Leto without being told.

It's the best voice I've ever heard for Skeletor. An honourable mention goes to the one used in the NA cartoon, though (so sneaky!).
My family just watched it together. We laughed and cheered and afterwards cried. We loved it! All of it! Including Skeletor's voice! This is such a happy day!
