By the power of Grayskull, Mattel Studios and Netflix’s He-Man has been found. According to Variety, “West Side Story” actor Kyle Allen has been cast as Adam, a.k.a He-Man, in the upcoming live-action film adaptation of “Masters of the Universe.” The film, which began at Sony Pictures and has since moved to Netflix for development, will be directed and co-written by Aaron and Adam Nee (“Band of Robbers”), who penned the script with David Callaham (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”).
