The Masters of the Universe series has plenty of fans very excited to see some of their favorite characters back in action. This includes Smith himself.
“I love Batman, I love Star Wars, but Masters of the Universe was always my number one,” Smith says. “It means the world to me. When I was growing up, I thought it was real. I thought there were stakes, and I thought every episode Skeletor was gonna kill He-Man. He said, ‘All I ask is that you treat that seriously. Treat it as seriously as I thought it was when I was watching.”
Smith goes on to clarify that Revelation will be directly tied into the original classic cartoon, “It’s not like every other thing you knew about the characters is BS or whatever. We honor what went before. Our first episode is designed to feel like the next episode if they kept going in the classic run.”
Masters of the Universe: Revelation is set to debut on Netflix later this year with an all-star cast attached to voice the beloved characters.
