    In a move that has us scratching our heads, Oscar winner Jared Leto has been cast in the upcoming live-action adaptation of “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.” No, he’s not playing some throw away companion character like Man-at-Arms or even Battlecat.

    He’ll be Skeletor.

    Thats right- Skeletor.



    Nicholas Galitzine will star as Prince Adam / He-Man, Alison Brie will play Evil-Lyn, Camila Mendes will play Teela, and Idris Elba will play Teela’s father, Man-at-Arms.

     Newly announced along with Leto are Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, and Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man.

    Travis Knight directs from a script by Chris Butler. (Previous versions were penned by David Callaham, and Aaron and Adam Nee.)

    We’ll next be seeing Leto in Disney’s upcoming “TRON: Ares,” due to hit theaters October 10th, 2025.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
