Masters of the Universe has an incredible legacy to live up to when it is released next year, and it's already doing a great job superseding Dolph Lundgren's 1987 versionin at least one important way. Helmed by Travis Knight, Masters of the Universe is in good hands. With an incredible world of swords, sorcery, and science fiction, the He-Man stories have great potential for the big screen, and based on these new details, that potential may be achieved in the new film.
