Masters of the Universe features Jared Leto as Skeletor among others
Written by Adam Nee, Chris Butler, David Callaham, and Aaron Nee, Masters of the Universe is a film about He-Man and belongs to the Masters of the Universe created by Mattel. The trailer opens with the revelation that a young Prince Adam of Eternia was sent light-years away to Earth when Eternia was at war. While he does remember what happened and who he is, he is able to return to his home planet only after fifteen years.
Upon return, Adam realises that the place he knew as home is now destroyed. Skeletor (played by Jared Leto) has not only killed Adam’s parents but also destroyed his world.
