I don’t know what to say about this other than it’s pretty awesome (lol)!
The Power of Grayskull is no more as DC Comics has killed off He-Man!

However, Adam was able to say, "By The Power Of Grayskull," just in time
Following Twilight‘s Kellan Lutz having revealed he took a meeeting for the live action Masters of the Universe He-Man movie, earlier today saw the director on the project, McG, taking questions about the film while at FOX’s Television Critics Association.
McG stated He-Man hasn’t been cast, but offered Kellan Lutz is in the running.
We haven’t cast the role yet, but I like Kellan very much. Obviously, we need a talented entertainer, but we also need a certain physicality, which he embodies. He’ll be considered very, very closely. We haven’t gotten to the casting process yet. Kellan’s a good guy, and we had a great meeting, and he’s passionate about He-Man, he’s passionate about the Adam story. He really knows a lot about it. I was charmed by his focus and intensity. He’ll be considered very, very carefully. We’re just not there yet. We’ve got to get the movie on its feet, then we’ll cast the movie.
McG also talked about casting Skeletor and confirmed the He-Man bad guy to heavyweight villains such as Star Wars‘ Darth Vader and Die Hard‘s Hans Gruber (which means they are taking a serious take on the characters and He-Man movie).
As Skeletor? I think the characters are bigger than any given actor. I think the right actor is going to be what’s most important. I’m not really hung up on, “Oh, it’s got to be a star.” I just want someone who’s right for it. I enjoy working with big movie stars. I enjoy working with discoveries. We’re going to do what’s right, so it embodies the energy. Skeletor needs to be an incredible menace. I really think — again — I mean it when I say Vader, Gruber, Skeletor.
McG confirmed Battle Cat and Evil Lyn for He-Man and offered an update where they are with the movie.
We have a big meeting with Sony regarding prep of the movie on Wednesday. And we’re in the middle of a bit of a script polish, and it’s my absolute passion. I’m laser-focused on that being my next film.
McG also said they are inspired by and are trying to emulate what Kevin Feige did with Marvel; what James Gunn did with the Guardians of the Galxy movie, and what Margot Robbie did with Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.
“I want to make sure our Evil-Lyn is the standard bearer. That’s a tall order, isn’t it?” McG said referencing both Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Cara Delevingne’s Enchantress.

Two fan-favorite cartoons from the ’80s collide when He-Man and Thundercats meet this October in a new DC Comics crossover.
DC Comics announces He-Man/Thundercats from Rob David and artist Freddie E. Williams II. The six issue series centers around Mumm-Ra seeking out He-Man’s sword which leads to the He-Man and Thundercats team up event. See full details below.
MATTEL AND DC PRESENT HE-MAN/THUNDERCATS
The Power of Grayskull and The Sword of Omens Collide this October
It’s the epic crossover event 30 years in the making! He-Man and the Masters of the Universe team up with the ThunderCats to make comic book and pop culture history! Scheduled to debut in October and published by DC Entertainment on behalf of Warner Bros. Consumer Products, this monthly miniseries will embroil heroes and villains—Masters, Mutants and ThunderCats—in a mind-blowing six-part comic book saga!
The story will be brought to life by the writing team of Mattel Head Writer and Masters of the Universe Lead Creative Rob David and Supervising Producer Lloyd Goldfine, with all-star artist Freddie E. Williams II (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) handling interiors and cover art.
“The Masters of the Universe and the ThunderCats are both global phenomena, beloved by millions. Teaming them up for one enormous story will prove to be a publishing event that fans simply cannot miss. This is something that transcends both comic book and pop culture,” said DC Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras.
“For everyone out there who took different action figures and teamed them up to take on the world, this one’s for you,” said co-writer Rob David, who recently wrote the storyline for the critically acclaimed He-Man: the Eternity War, published by DC Entertainment in 2015.
“Writing this crossover event is the thrill of a lifetime, and Rob and I can’t wait to get started,” added co-writer Lloyd Goldfine. “You don’t wait 30 years and not go big!”
In his eternal desire to destroy the mighty ThunderCats, the evil Mumm-Ra quests for a weapon that can rival the legendary Sword of Omens: He-Man’s Sword of Power! But his dimension-spanning scheme launches a cataclysmic crisis that will, for the first time ever, unite Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, Panthro, WilyKit and WilyKat with He-Man, Battlecat, Teela, Man-At-Arms and the rest of the Masters of the Universe.
“The Power of Grayskull and the Great Eye of Thundera have aligned to make me the luckiest guy on all the earths!” explained artist Freddie E. Williams II. “He-Man and ThunderCats were my life when I was in grade school—family and friends knew I loved both cartoons so much. I used to pause episodes and draw from them, since they were so awesome. The He-Man/ThunderCats crossover is the fulfillment of a lifelong goal and my fanboy dream come true! I’m having a blast!”
HE-MAN/THUNDERCATS #1 debuts October 5, 2016.
Twilight‘s Kellan Lutz has taken a meeting for the upcoming Masters of the Universe He-Man movie.
Lutz took to Twitter to offer He-Man is in great hands, with it looking like McG directing.

Check out a trailer for the 1987 He-Man Masters of the Universe movie done in the style of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
As YouTuber Mike Furth notes, get excited all over again for He-Man!
You can also check out a new He-Man fan-film, Fall of Grayskull, and a live-action Masters of the Universe movie is in development.
I’ve always been a big fan of He-Man; at the age of nine, I had a letter printed in the He-Man Magazine. What young kid can’t relate to getting transformed into a sword-wielding muscle-bound barbarian?!
“By the power of Grayskull! I have the power!”
Check out a cool He-Man fan-film above with “Fall of Grayskull” put out by Daniel Benedict on YouTube.
There is even a prologue comic book to go with it: http://www.fallofgrayskull.com.
He-Man & Skeletor battle for control of Castle Grayskull in this fan film based on the popular 80’s cartoon/toy… Masters of the Universe!
Fall of Grayskull is a live action fan short film about He-Man and Skeletor, along with various heroes and villains from Planet Eternia, battling over the secrets and powers of the mysterious Castle Grayskull.
A Masters of the Universe movie is also in development.

A couple of days ago saw bodybuilder and actor Mike O’Hearn mention he is getting ready for the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie, which led to speculation the former American Gladiator is up for the role of He-Man.
Word of O’Hearn possibly playing He-Man has since gone viral with fans responding with enthusiasm on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Now we get more of an update as O’Hearn has taken to his social networks to thank the fans for their support as well as stating he doesn’t have the He-Man role just yet.
I want to thank all the supporters for sending good vibes in hopes I get the role of He-Man. I am working hard everyday so when the opportunity presents itself, I’ll be ready. It’s pretty exciting that Hollywood is talking or has my name on their lips when it comes to this role. The support from the fans is incredibly helpful and really adds confidence to my belief that I’m the right man for it. I’ve been close to large rolls before like Superman and the follow up to The Scorpion King. Hollywood has talked about me in the past for other superhero roles such as Captain America long before Chris Evans booked it. (He did a great job as Captain America). More than just having the look of he-man, I need to stay in class and keep working with the theatrics. Superstar actor and friend Jonathan Schaech is also going to work with me on making sure that my acting is on point. All I can do is keep working to make sure that I am prepared to book this role and do an amazing job! Thank you again for all of your support. To be clear, I do not have the role yet. The Internet is flattering but you can’t believe everything you see on there. Again thank you for all of your support!
This morning I woke up to find out I’m trending on social media. That’s pretty awesome and shows me more than ever that the world wants me to play He-Man just as much as I want the Role. So for all of the love everyone is sending my way, I want to show you my appreciation. For the next 3 days anything you order from @freakoffmyleash will have a 10% discount. Go to www.foml.com to place your order. Let’s go Titan mode. I mean He-Man Mode!
Let’s make this happen my crazy Barbarians https://t.co/Irx57H9m7F

We may have found our He-Man for the Masters of the Universe movie or at least a member of the cast.
Bodybuilder and model Mike O’Hearn has posted on his Instragram account that he needs to drop a bit of weight for the He-Man movie.
“My Goal: Take off 30 pounds of lean muscle and get a whole new physique to get ready for the movie #HeMan!!” O’Hearn posted.
O’Hearn is a four time Mr. Universe, was featured as the captain of the American Gladiators team known as Titan, and has been featured in various TV and movie roles in addition to gracing many fitness magazine covers.
It’s safe to say Mike O’Hearn definitely looks the part of He-Man.
The Masters of the Universe movie is currently being written by Chris Yost, known for writing Marvel Comics, the Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Hero animated series and the Thor movies.
To date, a logo and concept art of Battlecat have been released, which can be found below.

It’s learned Marvel Comics writer and Thor: Ragnarok co-writer Chris Yost is going to pen the He-Man Masters of the Universe movie for Sony.
Yost was also responsible for the fan-favorite Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes animated Disney series and worked on the first Thor movie and Thor: The Dark World.
Variety reports Yost will be heading to Eternia to help bring He-Man to the big screen as the writer will be rewriting the Masters of the Universe script that Terry Rossio and Jeff Wadlow worked on.
He-Man ran from 1983-1985 featuring Prince Adam who has the power to transform into the heroic He-Man with his magic sword when uttering, “By The Power of Grayskull. I have the power!.” Along with his allies, the Masters of the Universe, He-Man battles his nemesis, the evil Skeletor, who seeks to conquer Castle Grayskull in order to learn the secrets held within.
Above is a logo released for the Masters of the Universe movie, which presently has no release date, and below you can find Battlecat concept art.

Also marching into the toy box is America’s highly trained special mission force, code name: G.I. Joe.
