Jared Leto to Play Skeletor in ‘Masters of the Universe’ Movie; Cast Also Set for Villains Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops and Goat Man
Jared Leto has joined "Masters of the Universe" as Skeletor, the archenemy of He-Man (Nicholas Galitzine); Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops and Goat Man have also been cast.
The Oscar-winning star of “House of Gucci” and “Dallas Buyers Club” is joining Amazon MGM’s upcoming live-action film “ Masters of the Universe ” as Skeletor, the skull-faced archenemy of Eternia’s greatest warrior, He-Man (Nicholas Galitzine). Chris Butler (“ParaNorman”) — who worked with Knight on Laika’s upcoming stop-motion animated feature “Wildwood” — wrote the latest draft of the screenplay, following writers David Callaham, and Aaron and Adam Nee. (By contrast, the last live-action adaptation of “Masters of the Universe,” released in 1987, used skull-like makeup to transform Frank Langella into Skeletor, opposite Dolph Lundgren’s oiled-up He-Man.)
