Mike O’Hearn Wants The He-Man Role

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22914:]]

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!

Nathan Fillion Wants To Play Booster Gold, Ambush Bug or Greatest American Hero

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21813:]]

Nathan Fillion, a one time fan-favorite choice to play Star-Lord for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, lets it be known he would be interested in playing Booster Gold for DC.

Fillion did cameo in Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy and is known for voicing Green Lantern in the DC animated universes.

A fan at Wizard World Chicago asked Fillion if he could play any character in either DC or Marvel, who would it be?

“I think I could take a pretty good crack at Booster Gold,” Fillion told the crowd, who were in attendance for a Firefly panel. “That’s kind of my niche – show-offy, vain. I think I could handle that – not too bright. I think Ambush Bug; little bit off his rocker. You never see my face. But I think Greatest American Hero is do for a reboot.”

Fillion then questioned Summer Glau about what she knows about super heroes, with Glau responding, “I like She-Ra.”

Fillion replied, “You are totally a princess of power.”

Adam Baldwin chimed in stating maybe he could play Green Lantern, with Fillion shaking his head no.

“I don’t know,” Baldwin smiled, and they all laughed with Fillion stating Green Lantern has already been taken.

Regarding Booster Gold, a while back there was talk about a SyFy series in development, but really nothing has been mentioned in a couple years.

Interestingly enough, a Greatest American Hero remake is underway.

You can watch the video below for more from Nathan Fillion talking super heroes.

Jeff Wadlow He-Man Movie Script Is Ready

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18588:]]

By The Power Of Grayskull! I Have The Power!

Back when I was around nine years old I had a letter published in the He-Man Magazine stating that “I liked when He-Man said that.”

The He-Man cartoon and of course the action figures were a big part of my childhood, so this comes as some good news to me.

The Senior Vice President of Production at Columbia Pictures, Devon Franklin, has started off the new year right by tweeting a picture of the completed He-Man movie script for Masters Of The Universe, which is written by Jeff Wadlow.

We see from the image that Wadlow updated previous versions of the Masters of the Universe script from Alex Litvak and Mik Finch, Richard Wenk, and Terry Rosio.

Wadlow previously wrote Kick-Ass 2, Cry_Wolf, Never Back Down and episodes of Bates Motel.

It’s being said that Wadlow might also direct the Masters of the Universe movie, but there may be a conflict with the X-Force movie; however, there hasn’t been mention of X-Force in a while. Fox has only confirmed movies for X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool and Wolverine 2, so it’s possible that X-Force might have been shelved.

To date, Masters of the Universe has no release date, plot or actors known. Hopefully we’ll hear some news soon.
