The trailer for Masters of the Universe: Revolution has been released, promising an epic battle between He-Man and Skeletor. Revolution is a sequel to Filmation's 1983 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and comes from director Kevin Smith.
It delves into the unresolved storylines of the original 1980s series. The first series, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, was released in 2021 and received positive reviews from critics. The sequel, subtitled Revolution, was announced in June 2022.
The preview has an ominous tone, promising that "death is coming for us all." It also shows Adam's struggles to become He-Man and how he wants to rule Eternia. The trailer also shows a new version of Skeletor and his evil plans. Netflix also released a synopsis of the series which you can watch below:
"It’s technology versus magic when He-Man and the heroic warriors face the forces of Skeletor and something more in Masters of the Universe: Revolution – the new epic chapter in the battle for Castle Grayskull! The newly mechanized Skeletor, armed with the might of Motherboard, attacks the heart of Eternia while Prince Adam grapples with a new responsibility and what that means for him as He-Man!
Adam is forced to choose between the scepter or the sword, and a life as either the King or the Champion! Meanwhile, the new Sorceress Teela searches for the secret of Snake Magic in the mists of Darksmoke to rebuild a magic realm and help He-Man hold off the greatest threat Eternia has ever faced: the return of the despot Hordak, the ruthless leader of the Horde Empire!"
While most of the cast of Masters of the Universe: Revelation returns, there is one notable change. Supergirl's Melissa Benoist voices Teela from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Wolf Pack star Sarah Michelle Gellar. Other new cast members include William Shatner, Keith David and John de Lancie, known from Q in Star Trek, who plays Granamyr.
However, Diedrich Bader, Liam Cunningham, Mark Hamill, Lena Headey, Griffin Newman, Tiffany Smith, Tony Todd and Chris Wood all return to voice their respective characters.
