Production is predicted to start out this summer time, with the Nee Brothers (who created the upcoming The Lost City) co-directing the title and writing it alongside Shang-Chi‘s David Callaham.
The corporations have not divulged a lot concerning the plot, however they’ve already chosen Kyle Allen (Balkan in West Side Story) as Prince Adam/He-Man. Not surprisingly, there are hints Adam will uncover his energy as He-Man and battle Skeletor to guard Eternia.
This is not a shocking transfer when MOTU has been profitable for Netflix.

Between this and different ’80s flashbacks, Netflix seems to know what nostalgia makes its viewers tick.
