The amazing casting news keeps on coming! Actor Stephen Adentan has just revealed on Instagram that he will be playing Moss Man in the new “Masters of the Universe” Movie coming from Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films!
This is what he shared:
Big News! I’m beyond excited to officially share that I’ve been cast as Moss Man in the upcoming @mastersoftheuniversefilm hitting screens in 2026.
It’s an honor to bring a character like Moss Man to life and be immortalized with action figure from @mattel
Can’t wait for you all to see what we’ve been building ✌🏾
So what character will be announced next? Stratos? Webstor? We can’t wait to find out!
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!
OMG this movie is giving me tears of joy! 😭
Goddamn – how are they going to fit all these characters into the movie?
@asterstar
Seriously, this is Marvel comic summer event levels of desperate. No way this many characters can be done justice in one movie.
You don’t need to. It’s like a Transformers movie. Some Autobots and Decepticons are background characters that have moments to shine but aren’t main characters.
I know, but this is obviously a concerted push for hype that’ll leave a lot of people disappointed in the end. Even if all the characters we’re seeing were only in the movie for two minutes each it would still be a mess, it’s not like when the MCU did loads of character building before Avengers.
@sketchyskeletor Maybe MOTU will skip all that buildup over a decade and a dozen movies and go straight for an Avengers style film of epic proportions right out of the gate!
On Earth!
(I can’t get this site to work properly on mobile at all, sorry about all the posts!)
X-Men movies never needed buildup for all of the mutants. A bad guy appears. A good guy appears. Here are their powers. Fight.
Tbh that’s why they’re rarely mentioned in the same thought process/breath as Blade much less Spider-Man.
Did you see Days of Future Past and First Class? X-Men movies are way more popular and memorable than the Blade movies.
Yeah, Days was good but First was almost boring. I’ve completely forgotten everything but the Wolverine cameo. Tbh popularity doesn’t amount to anything if they’re not memorable with that popularity. Look at the cameos in Deadpool 3, those went absolutely nowhere. There’s rarely much chatter about the X-Men movies, they’re too by the numbers or something and got superceded fast. Way too many of them were rubbish too, and it was the same problem we’ve been discussing, far too many characters to do anything worthwhile with. Look at how tacked on Apocalypse’s minions were, even the younger crew in Days. It doesn’t make for good story or longevity.
I wish they would! This movie was in development hell for years precisely because nobody would agree on the budget!
How dare they, this guy’s not even green!
Joking aside, I’m stocked, but I do wonder how all these characters will fit in the movie, and hopefully its sequels. I really hope they’re not going to appear just once in a big battle scene then never be seen again!
Some big characters like Mer-Man and Stratos should be kept for a 2d movie, so they can have more screentime.
Moss Man too??????????????
Epic!
All these casting announcements gives me hope for Batros.
LETS GO!!!! 🔥
Holy moly! Moss Man! This is surpassing the excitement I felt in the lead up to Revelation!
Lmao
Hmmmmmm…. starting to feel overstuffed.
Don’t worry! With Travis Knight in charge he knows what he’s doing. This movie will be amazing.
Serious. Have faith in Travis Knight. He is a talented director . He made two movies Bumblebee and Kubo and both are great. I have no doubt Masters of the Universe will be great too.
At this point I say just go balls to the wall, especially with Evil Warriors. Cram literally all of them in there somewhere.
Even if theres a sequel, they typically don’t repeat main antagonists so we probably won’t see a 2nd film of Skeletor as the big bad, so let’s just get his whole crew somewhere in the first film.
Nah, it’d be the easiest thing in the world to tie all three evil factions to each other via Snake Mountain alone. It doesn’t matter how Skeletor comes to be there so long as he’s connected to Hordak in the past and the Horde come calling on Eternia, as one example. The Snakes appear from the depths of the Mountain or using time travel. Hell, Hordak’s transporting of the Horde through portals would let an insurgent Rattlor or Lashor (they’re anything and everything in the various cartoons) into Snake Mountain to resurrect the would-be reign of Hiss.
What I’m saying is across a trilogy, and studios love a trilogy, you’ve got a new faction each time without having to drop the Evil Warriors completely.
Now if only I believed anybody in Hollywood had the wit…
I agree man, go balls to the wall!
So this is how it’s going to be? Every heroic citizen of Eternia will be thrown in there? So it would be reasonable to expect at least two to three epic minutes to each and everyone to properly shine on screen. PS: I like the charisma of that actor playing “Mother Nature’s Husband" (lol).
I consider 8 movies longevity and that doesn’t count the Wolverine movies. X-Men started in the year 2000. X-Men and X2 were good. People liked it and they didn’t need a backstory for all the characters like Toad. He did what he did.
There is no more chatter about X-Men movies because Disney bought Fox and they haven’t made a new one. Fox ran X-Men into the ground before the sale by making bad movies Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, New Mutants just like the MCU is currently making bad movies but people were excited to see Marvel Studios X-Men movies regardless. Disney stupidly still hasn’t made one.
