If you haven't caught up with He-Man since the '80s, it's a genre mashup of sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, action-adventure, with a healthy dose of retro '80s vibes sprinkled in. Think Guardians of the Galaxy meets Lord of the Rings.
But, while all of these elements co-exist spectacularly in the new live-action film, it is chock-full of outer space. You even get to meet He-Man's mom, a NASA astronaut!
"Masters Universe is famously, famously sort of this wacky, you know, unhinged blend of sci-fi and fantasy and all these kinds of crazy things mixed together, and so sci-fi in space is a big part of that," director Travis Knight told Space.
Within the first few moments of "Masters of the Universe," it's clear that things are going to get space-y.
These early moments in the film not only establish Eternia's place in space, but take the viewer on a cosmic trip that really sets the tone and lets you know what kind of fun you're in for.
In the "Master's of the Universe" canon, it turns out that He-Man's mom is an astronaut.
