The Hollywood Reporter has just announced the casting of four major roles in the upcoming “Masters of the Universe” movie from Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films: SKELETOR, TRAP JAW, TRI-KLOPS and GOAT MAN!
Yes Skeletor and three of his henchman will be played by no one other than actors Jared Leto (Skeletor), Sam C. Wilson (Trap Jaw), Hafthor Bjornsson (Goat Man) and Kojo Attah (Tri-Klops).
Here is the official report:
The list of villains cast for Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films’ live action take on Masters of the Universe now includes Jared Leto, Sam C. Wilson, Hafthor Bjornsson and Kojo Attah.
Leto will play Skeletor, Wilson is to fill the role of Trap Jaw, Bjornsson will play Goat Man and Attah nabbed the role of Tri-Klops. They join Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Skeletor’s second-in-command.
Previously announced hero roles include Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela and Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms.
While most people know Jared Leto, the other three actors are less well known. Here is some additional info:
Hafthor Bjornsson (Goat Man)
Hafthor Bjornsson, who will be playing Goat Man, is an Icelandic professional strongman who is widely regarded as one of the greatest strength athletes of all time. Hafthor has acted as well, most notably in “Game of Thrones”.
Sam C. Wilson (Trap Jaw)
Sam C. Wilson who will play Trap Jaw is a professional actor who’s may be most well known for his roles in “Dodger” and “House of the Dragon” Season 2.
Kojo Attah (Tri-Klops)
Kojo Attah, who will play Tri-Klops, also is a professional actor who has stared movies like “Supacell” and “Wrath of Man”
And now that Jared Leto has been officially cast as Skeletor in the New “Masters of the Universe” Live-Action Movie, we wonder if part of that performance will be playing the role of Keldor.
Filming for “Masters of the Universe” is reportedly slated to begin this January 2025 with the movie itself scheduled to be released in cinemas worldwide on June 5th, 2026.
Thanks to the amazing community member @adam_prince-of-eternia for the ‘heads up’.
Wow! We’ll see you next time!
It’s like I said before. Everyone shits on Leto but I see him as a damn good actor. He’ll make a good eccentric Skeletor. Now the other three jokers I know nothing about.
As I said before I hated his Joker, but I thought his performance in Haunted Mansion was a good villain. If played along those lines it could work for Skeletor.
Damn it!
Goat Man? I don’t remember that figure when I was a kid. That man is massive. Maybe they meant Beast Man?
Goat Man was not a figure in the 1980s. Back then he was featured only once in the Golden Book “Secret of the Dragon’s Egg" and then released 2014 as MotU Classics figure:
He was also shown a little bit in the Revelation/Revolution cartoon on Netflix.
That Hafthor guy is gigantic but Goat Man? Really? I hope they know what they are doing .
Plot twist: He’s playing New Adventures Skeletor!
Leto?
Why?
