Travis Knight Promises Heart and Focus for Masters of the Universe

Travis Knight, Laika veteran turned live-action director, says his Masters of the Universe film honors the long-running property by blending playful camp with serious emotion, centering Adam’s journey to become He-Man and the duality of empathy versus strength, while weaving in fan-favorite characters like Ram Man and Fisto in background ways and noting that not every favorite could fit; the film aims to appeal across generations and leaves open the possibility of more stories if audiences respond, with a June 5 release date.

He-Man's Architect Roger Sweet Dies at 91, Shaping an Iconic Franchise

Roger Sweet, the Mattel designer who created the He-Man figure that launched the 1980s toy line and cartoon, died at 91 after battling dementia. He developed the He-Man prototype by reworking a Big Jim figure, pitched it to Mattel leadership, and brought He-Man to market in 1982, with the 1983–85 cartoon following Prince Adam’s transformation. The franchise later spurred a reboot film from Amazon/MGM/Mattel, featuring stars like Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Idris Elba and Alison Brie. He is survived by his wife, Marlene.
