<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the year, Jeff Wadlow and Terry Rossio turned in a script to Sony for a Masters of the Universe<\/strong><\/em><\/a> reboot.<\/p>\n

Now, according to Variety<\/a>,<\/em> the studio has tapped Christopher Yost<\/strong> to do a rewrite of the script.<\/p>\n

It makes sense, given Yost’s familiarity with big, buff, blonde heroes. After all, he helped pen the scripts for Thor<\/a>, Thor: The Dark World,<\/em> and will be taking on Thor: Ragnarok<\/em> as well.<\/p>\n

The story mainly revolves around the hero He-Man (whose alter ego is Prince Adam) and the evil Skeletor on the planet Eternia. The popular cartoon ran from 1983-85 and inspired the cult hit movie starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella in 1987.<\/p>\n

Now we’re getting a second cinematic shot at the franchise!<\/p>\n

Are you excited for a Masters of the Universe<\/em> reboot? Do you think Yost is a good choice? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n
