Masters of the Universe: DC Movie Veteran David Goyer to Direct He-Man Film
The film will open in theaters on December 18, 2019.
Sony wants a DC movie veteran to helm the Masters of the Universe reboot.
TheWrap reports David S. Goyer, the writer behind Christoper Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman, is in talks to direct the He-Man film. Goyer also wrote the most recent draft of the script. The movie will hit theaters on December 18, 2019.
Goyer will be replacing McG, who left the project earlier this year. There's still no news regarding casting, including who might play the warrior Prince Adam (He-Man).
The original story for Masters of the Universe is set on the planet Eternia and follows Adam, who turns into the mighty He-Man in order to battle the villainous Skeletor. The franchise started out as a Mattel toy line and then became a children's TV series in 1983.
A live-action film came out in 1987 and stars Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and and Frank Langella as Skeletor.
