While most people recognize that actor Frank Langella delivered a fantastic performance as Skeletor in the 1987 "Masters of the Universe" Movie... ...many fans still long for a cinematic interpretation of the villian known as the "Lord of Destruction" that matches the visual aesthetics of the classic character, especially his blue skin. This is why when Skeletor actor Jared Leto (while filming the New "Masters of the Universe" Movie) posted an image of himself on Instagram (now deleted) holding the same type of rainbow cake that he gifted to some of the Evil Warrior actors... ..some fans immediately became concerned…
We have the Power!
I shared this with my family and we all agree. It feels like they are finally showing respect to both classic MotU and classic movie making.
So much for recasting...
I mean to be fair that upcoming Tron movie from the trailer looks like Leto will have a helmet on most of the film, that is if anyone goes to see it. Tron Legacy I remember being good. Remember seeing it when I was 8, but I don't know WHY Disney got this far into production despite probably knowing why this guy is controversial and Leto has been attached to this development hell film for years and that probably immediately killed most people's interest in a 3rd Tron movie if there was any.
Two years ago Disney released a 2nd movie based on their iconic Haunted Mansion ride that no one saw because of how bad they marketed it. Leto was in it portraying the infamous Hatbox Ghost (If you're a big theme park nut like me, you KNOW the real life legend of that character), but from what I can remember because I did see the movie, he was barely in it and when he was, his character was either a CG or they barely showed his face in a flashback and overall within the the plot the titular mansion belongs to his character is really just a posthumous plot device.
Basically the way I see it, I think even though Hollywood is for some reason still giving the method actor cult leader weirdo major work, they're at least willing to advertise him in a movie then proceed to have the least of his actual face shown as they can. They probably keep casting him because there's the phrase "No such thing as bad publicity".
What I'm really hoping for is Skeletor's face to be a mo-cap skull.
Honestly that's preferable in my book because I'm gonna make a hot take and say I think Leto could work as Skel with how weird he acts. but it's more of a "Wait and see" type scenario.
@gettinhighlander where is the proof that mattel checked?
The proof is Leto said if she was over 18 she could also paint his butt cheeks blue. Guess who had two thumbs and a blue ass? 🤣
