UPDATE: David S. Goyer drops out of directing He-Man Film for Sony

[RoboSteveo]

I hope this young actor can pull it off. I am cautiously optimistic.

[Mechanizor]

So this new kid on the block Noah Centineo was featured on The Tonight's Show and he confirmed the rumor surrounding him that he's playing He-Man for Sony!

Well, I can see his personality fitting for Prince Adam, but He-Man?... I don't know guys, he does't have the physique, nor the voice and the charisma for such an iconic character IMHO, so I wonder how Sony is going to pull it off?:

[Mechanizor]

Good, for He-Man's sake... Rushing such a major and an expensive project would've been a bigger failure.

[Jyrki]

Again film got another delay, but not suprise: https://www.cbr.com/masters-of-the-u...eboot-delayed/

[Jyrki]

Honesty I think MotU film really need proper CGI effects get example transformation. Question should be fine if new He-Man film is made in CGI animation style like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse? I be complete fine for it since character design then can be most near or matching with character looks what we are used for it.

Nothing major but.....Principal photography is due to get underway mid-July in Prague.

I don't have much hope yet it could still happen..

[Mechanizor]

They (Sony) is running out of time for making this film.

I think it's either a) they're working on it already and they're keeping silence until they surprise us with a content or a trailer, or b) the project is dead and they're ready to give the license back!

IMO, the second outcome is more likely...

They (Sony) is running out of time for making this film.

[RoboSteveo]

It has been radio silence since he announced his departure from the film. I don't think Sony is going to make a He-man movie anymore.

[Mechanizor]

I wish the movie won't happen with this (almost impossible) deadline (12/2019) and probably it won't...

[Croc-O-Bite!]

Thank goodness Goyer is gone.
At this point it’s looking more and more like the only chance Sony can keep the rights is to call Roger Corman and Fantastic Four this thing.

.......and it would probably still look better than that crappy Teela Robot Jox suit Goyer was looking at...

[Y2Greg]

At this point, is it pretty much impossible for this movie to be released by December 2019? What happens if it gets delayed? Does Sony lose its rights?

[Jyrki]

Not suprising at all.

[Eamon]

Ok. No more check armour Teela at least so that's something.

[Mechanizor]

Can you somehow convince Christopher Nolan to take a shot at it? ;-)

[Captain Atkin]

Can't say I'm to shocked by that.

[Mechanizor]

Well, Goyer is out:

[Andy]

I agree...feels more like exo squad or centurions

[Lockhart]

To me, that battle suit design looks very strange.

[Mechanizor]

Here is a YT video I found talking about the subject, but nothing groundbreaking:

[Mechanizor]

Interesting...

[Eamon]

Did I hear right that they took that image down?

[Mechanizor]

I’m all for cyborgs, power suits and mechs in this universe so long as it doesn’t over shadow the sword and sorcery and the fantasy elements... In this case, I’d rather see that they won’t use closed canopies and helmeted mechs, unless they’re meant for unbreathable environments.

[Captain Atkin]

It makes me wonder what is going on. Is this a battle suit designed by the "good guys", or is she wearing a suit stolen from the enemy (ala Filmation He-Man in a Horde Trooper suit).

[Draego-Man]

It looks like Predator to me
