1.  “Masters of the Universe”  (PG-13)  Final Trailer

If you’re a child of the ’80s, you grew up watching He-Man cartoons, playing with the action figures, or at least saw Dolph Lundgren play him in the 1987 movie.

 

This new live-action adaptation reboots the franchise with a guy named Nicholas Galitzine as Princess Adam / He-Man . . . and Jared Leto as the villain Skeletor.

 

After Skeletor’s armies invade his home world, young Adam escapes to Earth where he grows up as a completely normal kid . . . until years later when he hunts down his lost Sword of Power and returns to save his people.

 

Idris Elba is in it as the Man-At-Arms, Camila Mendes is his badass daughter Teela, Morena Baccarin is the Sorceress of Castle Greyskull, Kristen Wiig is a metallic warrior named Roboto, and Alison Brie is Skeletor’s sidekick Evil-Lyn.

 

Dolph Lundgren also has a cameo as a guy Adam meets at the gym on Earth.
