As filming on the Masters of the Universe movie is underway, the He-Man movie adds three more to its diverse cast including Jon Xue Zhang as Ram-Man. Sasheer Zamata has also been added as Suzie, and Christian Vunipola as Hussein.
Jon Xue Zhang confirmed the casting on his social media. He’s known for recently having a role in Kraven, Red Eye, The Brothers Sun, and more. He’s also a stuntman including having worked in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and Doctor Strange.
Ram-Man is a heroic warrior from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, known for his powerful, spring-loaded headbutt attacks. Loyal but somewhat simple-minded, he wears heavy armor and uses his incredible strength to smash through obstacles and enemies, making him a valuable ally to He-Man in the battle against Skeletor.
Sasheer Zamata as Suzie and Christian Vunipola as Hussein are likely characters while the movie is set on Earth. Set images have hit the net from the London shoot showing Nicholas Galitzine as a seemingly normal human who gets arrested for having the Power Sword.
Sasheer Zamata is known for Marvel’s Agatha, Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Home Economics, Woke, and Michelle Obama’s Breaking Point.
Christian Vunipola is known for Singing In My Sleep, Queenpins, SOCiAL, and more.
What is the Masters of the Universe about?
In their reporting about the recent cast news, THR is once again stating the plot is being kept under wraps. However, again those set images revealing the Earth setting seem to confirm the earlier plot descriptions:
10-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe!
