@smitty-81 I am not taking sides but I am not seeing that stuff you see in his comment. Maybe you read it wrong.
I don't remember that figure when I was a kid.
It's that comment right there.That part of your statement suggests a complete disconnect from everything outside of the vintage toy line. Goat man even had a speaking role in Masters of the Universe Revelation. His presence in that show was discussed online. If you were unfamiliar with the character because you just got into the online phantom, that's fine.But saying, I don't remember him is totally different than saying.Who is this character.

I do wonder how someone who's enough of a MOTU fan to bother creating an account to discuss this hobby with other fans on a MOTU specific forum could not, despite being a fairly obscure character, have at least heard of Goat Man at some point in the past 40 years...
Very interesting choice for Skeletor, I like the casting of Jared Leto. I think he's a great actor, I just hope he looks "big" enough in whatever wardrobe they design for him.

I am a TMNT groupie that also liked He-Man toys as a kid. When Turtles of Grayskull came out I started reconnecting with He-Man. Is that good enough for you or you going to decide I am not a real fan?
Aw come on please knock it off guys. Unless you are a bot here to spam us we are all fans here so let's be respectful.
Now in regards to the topic at hand there are FOUR MORE CASTING ANNOUNCEMENTS???????????

@brain77 i'll never say anyone's not a true fan. I just think your phrasing was a little weird if you didn't know the character, that's fine. I definitely lost track of masters of the universe after the 200X cartoon ended. I knew classics was a thing, but I didn't know where to get it.I couldn't find them anywhere online.I didn't know you had to be part of a special club. I didn't really get back into masters of the universe until a few years ago, when I found out about origins. Yeah, but since then i've tried to learn as much as I could about the lore.The classics helped flesh out. I learned about some of the characters I didn't know about. What was most interesting for me to find out is that Oo-Larr was He-Man's most recent ancestor not his most distant.

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.
Fair enough.

Better get used to it. This movie is going to bring new people into the fold.

Simply as you pointed out: By being a fairly obscure character. Not despite, but because. I watched Relevation (although only once so far; a Rewatch later is planned) and while I'm sure I must have seen him he did not left an impression enought for me to remember him. And having a villain cast shown of the "big Skeletor gang" excl. Lynn since she already got announced its fair to assume a typo by thinking a staple character like Beast Man was meant instead; which was actually my first though too. I just never had to ask because it was already answered in detail by the time I found the topic. I'll keep an eye out for him on the planned rewatch of the show.
Why the F ppl suddenly go into a true Scotsman style ballistic MOTU fandom wiener measuring contest in defense of an obscure character like Goat Man is significantly more baffling to me though then his inclusion of the close Skeletor circle. 😛
I am stunned! Has anyone seen Jared Leto lately? Is it possible he has been getting buff like Nick?

Cool, there's a ton of great MOTU stuff to catch up while you wait for the movie. Just don't blink during "Revelation" or you may miss Goatman. 😉
I'm a lifelong fan since I got He-man, Beastman, and Skeletor for Christmas in '82. I've watched the Filmation series more times than I can count and just had my annual watch of the Xmas special last night.
I love the 200x series and I have a soft spot for the '87 movie despite its shortcomings. I still have my vintage toys (including their mini-comics), I have most of the 200x figures and a handful of Classics and Masterverse figures.
I have watched 'Revelation' and 'Revolution' more than a dozen times each and enjoy them immensely, I even have respect for the CGI Netflix show despite it's new take on the theme. I own all the Darkhorse books and Revelation-related comic books. Despite the extravagant cost, I couldn't resist going all-in on the Kickstarter for the Board game, "Clash For Eternia" which delivered in February last year...no regrets, it's a fun game. I have a decent collection of the Golden Books(including the one with Goatman). When I read that Goatman had been cast in the upcoming movie, I thought "That's a very niche character". Never would I have picked him as one of the characters that would appear in the movie.
@caliban I'm kind of dreading it for that reason alone 🤣 We'll be flooded with newbs and the famous Era Wars from the past years of the Org will heat up again...
Isn't that a good thing though? Why dread it? The Netflix She-Ra and He-Man shows brought in new fans and old fans that haven't thought of He-Man since they were a youth. If the movie grows our fan base too it makes new stories and toys more attractive to the companies that make it.

Leto is already in pretty good shape for his age. However, I would be very surprised if Skeletor isn't an entirely CG character in the film due to his bone head alone. That being said, I doubt Leto would go through the same process Nick is going through (being juiced to the gills with steroids) because he's quite vain and very focused on maintaining his young appearance. Hopping on gear ages you pretty drastically from a visual stand point. Plus he's 52 years old now so he'd likely need to be taking significantly higher doses. Even with higher doses I would be surprised if he was able to mass up in such a short period of time leading up to filming.
Kojo and Jared are very odd choices for those roles. I suppose Skeletor will be mostly CGI or motion capture. I imagine Goat Man won't last long enough to make it to the next film. Perhaps, they are saving Beast Man for a sequel.
Okay right now I am stuck on Jared Leto as Skeletor. I don't know..... I'm really not sure.. I just reaaally?? I have love everyone so far. I will give him a fair shot. I have not always been a fan of all castings in all movies and sometimes I get it wrong and eat crow.
Trap Jaw's actor Sam C. Wilson I have not seen that I know of will check some of his work out.
Hafthor Bjornsson who is Goat Man?? of all but cool????? Well sure why not?... Maybe not all A list henchmen right away I get it.. I will check him out too.
For Tri-Klops played by Kojo Attah, again someone I am pretty sure I have never seen, (except Wrath of man where he was credited as a different name). Masked S.W.A.T. so why use real name when in a mask full time. I feel uncultured to know so few of the cast.
I am definitely excited for these casting updates. I actually liked Jared Leto as The Joker and I think he will be appropriately creepy as Skeletor. I am interested in Goat-Man, but I hope Beast-Man & Mer-Man are also in the movie.

I actually think Idris Elba would have been a much better choice for Skeletor. He has the right voice and acting gravitas. I'm not sold on Leto at all.

I left for a while but now I am back. Thanks for being so nice. I watched the Revelation and Revolution shows already and I liked them a lot. The only thing that bothered me is when Skeletor and Evil-Lyn kissed. Skeletor has no lips so it made no sense haha.
