Check it out:

It’s official: I’m playing MekaNeck in the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie. Dreams do come true—especially the weird ones where your neck stretches 20 feet and @mattel turns you into an action figure. 🦸🏼‍♂️

Also there is a mystery solved!

This solves one of the mystery actors that we spotted prominently featured on the movie set training facility wall this past March. At the time we didn’t know his name or the character he played.

It looks like we can now confirm the left photo as actor James Wilkinson!

Of course, there are still more mystery faces left so we can’t wait to see who is announced next!

Filming for “Masters of the Universe” is currently underway with the movie scheduled to be released in cinemas worldwide on June 5th, 2026.

And thanks to Sam” on X for the ‘heads up’!

We’ll see you next time!

  1. HUZZAH! My favorite Heroic Warrior is in the movie! Now the questions I have are:
    1. Will he not be treated like a joke?
    2. Will he make it through the movie alive?
    Unfortunately, my track record with my favorite characters making it through stories alive isn’t great, so #2 isn’t looking good…

      Ditto! From the favored character to the never-ending traumas that are often caused in such a case. Yeah, could live without it!🤣 
       


    1. Love this, but just a thought if the movie is good, we’re going to want sequels and I hope they don’t debut all of the characters in the first installment

      50/50 this movie doesn’t make enough to get sequels.
       



    1. Please tell me this isn’t another Bumblebee scenario where everybody appears in the first five minutes to sell toys then the rest of the budget is stretched to all hell.

      That will still be worth the price of admission.
       
       

    1. Stratos, Buzz-Off, Clamp Champ, Roboto, Mer-Man, Webstor, Ninjor, ScareGlow, Kobra Khan… there are still plenty of incredible characters to introduce down the line. And Goat Man is probably there to be killed off in the first movie, as nobody will be mad at it.

      You got a point. I think my thought process is thinking the characters should debut in a motion picture in order of how they debuted in the original toy line. Goat Man and Pig Boy being in the opener doesn’t seem right to me. But then again, most of my opinions are based off of the toy line, whether it be when they debuted or how they were portrayed lol.

      This could be our “chicken jockey” moment, don’t forget the popcorn!
       

      Oh lord no mate. We don’t need stories of American audiences going absolute bonkers and releasing goats into the cinemas.

      I can wait for Buzz-Off, Clamp Champ, Roboto, Mer-Man, Webstor, Ninjor, ScareGlow, Kobra Khan but Stratos and Mer-Man are first rate characters. The first movie should have them.
