By The Power Of Geeked Week, I Have The Teaser Trailer For 'Masters of the Universe: Revolution'

Netflix still has some of the power in this franchise!

In case you forgot, Netflix still has some involvement in the He-Man franchise, through its OG He-Man and the Masters of the Universe continuation simply titled Masters of the Universe. Okay maybe not so simple, it has a changeable subtitle. Season 1 was Revelation, and season 2, revealed at June 2022’s Geeked Week, is Revolution. Geeked Week 2023, 17 months later, has brought us the teaser trailer.

It begins with voiceover from Keith David's Hordak, a casting revealed at San Diego Comic-Con. He says he has conquered 10,000 worlds over "uncountable eons". During his conquest, he snarks there is always a "hero" or "the one" somewhere hoping to save the day only to fail, inevitably. It seems He-Man might be the one to break the cycle. Skeletor, voiced once again by Mark Hamill believes the "dawn of a new Eternia" is coming, evoking the season’s theme in claiming it’s time for revolution.

The streamer’s official synopsis for Masters of the Universe: Revolution reads:

"It’s technology versus magic when He-Man and the heroic warriors face the forces of Skeletor and something more in MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVOLUTION – the new epic chapter in the battle for Castle Grayskull. The newly mechanized Skeletor, armed with the might of Motherboard, attacks the heart of Eternia while Prince Adam grapples with a new responsibility and what that means for him as He-Man!

Adam is forced to choose between the scepter or the sword, and a life as either the King or the Champion! Meanwhile, the new Sorceress Teela searches for the secret of Snake Magic in the mists of Darksmoke to rebuild a magic realm and help He-Man hold off the greatest threat Eternia has ever faced: the return of the despot Hordak, the ruthless leader of the Horde Empire!"

Masters of the Universe: Revolution premieres stars Supergirl’s Chris Wood as Prince Adam/He-Man, Diedrich Bader as King Randor, however Melissa Benoist takes over from Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, with the 1987 film’s Evil-Lyn Meg Foster as Motherboard, and William Shatner, whose role hasn’t been publicly revealed. How much we’ll see of Mer-Man and what’s going on there after the death of Kevin Conroy is unknown. As far as Netflix’s He-Man situation, they also had a full reboot iteration starring Yuri Lowenthal that premiered a few months after Revelation whose 26-episode season was split into three and seems to be over. They also relinquished the long-developing new live action film after nearly 4 years in July, and there’s been rumblings for its new distributor.
