Kevin Smith’s He-Man Masters of the Universe: Revolution is now out on Netflix where William Shatner plays a mystery character, which is now revealed.

William Shatner’s mystery character revealed
So who does William Shatner voice in Masters of the Universe: Revolution? It’s none other than Keldor!
I am very happy to join MOTU-verse as Keldor 💪, the amazingly charming, handsome and misunderstood uncle of Prince Adam & brother to King Randor, the weak.😝 Sleep light Eternia; I’m not going to be happy until I have my throne. BTW, @Mattel I have ideas for a life sized… pic.twitter.com/6FEbaaTYQF

Who is Keldor?
In MOTU lore, Keldor is the long lost uncle of He-Man and the brother of King Randor, and that is who Keldor is in Masters of the Universe: Revolution, brilliantly voiced by William Shatner.
Keldor was not a part of the original 1980s He-Man action figure line but was first mentioned in the minicomics, and he then resurfaced in the 2002 Masters of the Universe franchise which included a new animated series and toy line.
No spoilers, but Masters of the Universe: Revolution is a take on that 2002 series which involves Keldor becoming Skeletor (the origin of Skeletor) and Hordak.
And if you are wondering if Masters of the Universe: Revolution is worth the watch, yes it is, it’s much better than Revelation.
Here is the description for Revolution:
It’s technology versus magic when He-Man and the heroic warriors face the forces of Skeletor and something more in MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVOLUTION – the new epic chapter in the battle for Castle Grayskull!
The newly mechanized Skeletor, armed with the might of Motherboard, attacks the heart of Eternia while Prince Adam grapples with a new responsibility and what that means for him as He-Man!
Adam is forced to choose between the scepter or the sword, and a life as either the King or the Champion!
Meanwhile, the new Sorceress Teela searches for the secret of Snake Magic in the mists of Darksmoke to rebuild a magic realm and help He-Man hold off the greatest threat Eternia has ever faced: the return of the despot Hordak, the ruthless leader of the Horde Empire!
