Dude should have been cast as Jitsu instead.

This is Ram-Man...

Too early to tell. Not feeling the casting of Jared Leto as Skeletor. Instead of casting Idris as Man-At-Arms, he would have made an excellent Keldor/Skeletor. Idris Elba playing Man-At-Arms is him basically playing Heimdall again, which is wack.
Hell no, I can't see that movie being good as a live action film unless you set it up in a Game if Thrones type world.

But from those photos it's going to be in a more realistic setting which I can't see working.

Bookmarked

I agree it's way too soon.

But so far I actually like all the casting and disagree man at arms is just Heimdall again.

The guy looks fine as Prince Adam, I just hate that this is going to have scenes that take place on Earth.

I loved the 80s film but I want to see a straight up Sci Fi/Fantasy film like the Lord of the Rings taking place on Eternia.

If you remember the original cartoon.

Prince Adam’s mother was a astronaut from Earth that got lost and pulled towards Eternia and crashed.

The King found her and they got married.

It’s possible Skeletor in this film discovers she is Adam’s mother and the main plot is similar to “The Terminator” trying to kill John Conner.

Skeletor might have gone back in time to try to kill Adam’s mother.

We will wait and see…

I remember, still don't want to see Earth in the first film. They can always do that in the sequel. The show didn't do the whole Earth visit right away, that was after the characters and world of Eternia was already established.
