The power of nostalgia in Hollywood has been clear for years, as moviegoers love to see properties they enjoyed as young people back on the small or silver screens. Following Barbie's record-breaking success, Mattel has brought another IP to the big screen: Masters of the Universe. Travis Knight's movie is nearly here, and while some folks might be worried about Jared Leto's role as Skeletor, as someone who has already seen the movie I can confidently say he's incredible as the beloved villain.
What we know about Masters of the Universe has been limited, but I was lucky enough to visit the set in the midst of filming. I didn't get to see Leto at work, so my early screening of Knight's movie was the first time seeing him in action. And while he's had box office bombs with Morbius and Tron: Ares, the Oscar-winning actor is a total delight at Skeletor, and worth the price of admission.
