Thor 3’s Chris Yost Penning Masters Of The Universe

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.

Yours truly had a letter published in the He-Man Magazine back in the day.
