Netflix has released the first trailer for Kevin Smith’s ‘Masters Of The Universe: Revelation‘ series, which premieres this July on the streaming service.
The new series will focus on the unresolved storylines of the classic ’80s era, picking up many of the characters’ journeys where they left off decades ago. Geek overlord Kevin Smith serves as showrunner and exec producer. Marc Bernardin (‘Castle Rock’, ‘Alphas’), Eric Carrasco (‘Supergirl’), Diya Mishra (‘Magic the Gathering’) and Tim Sheridan (‘Reign of the Supermen’) serve as writers on the series.
The voice cast is a “who’s who” of geekdom with people from across a range of sci-fi/fantasy shows, along with a handful of Smith alumni. ‘Supergirl’ & ‘The Vampire Diaries’ star Chris Wood takes the lead role as Prince Adam/He-Man, whilst the legendary Mark Hamill will voice Skeletor. They are joined by ‘Buffy’ herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, alongside ‘Game Of Thrones’ stars Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn and Liam Cunningham as Man-At-Arms.
