When Masters of the Universe: Revelation premiered on Netflix again in 2021, it turned out to be…truly not half unhealthy. As an alternative of being a simple dip into the nostalgia properly prefer it initially gave the impression of, the present was a enjoyable, if flawed, return to the canon of the 1983 collection that had grown with its viewers and brought some fascinating swings. And naturally, it wasn’t actually the top a lot because it was a brand new starting, which goes to proceed with the sequel collection, Masters of the Universe: Revolution.
Netflix and showrunner Kevin Smith have been pretty mum on Revolution ever because the follow-up’s announcement final yr. However the streamer introduced a brand new solid addition within the type of Meg Foster, who performed Evil-Lyn within the 1987 Masters film starring Dolph Lundgren. She’s available to voice the position of Motherboard within the upcoming present, and described within the press launch as “a formidable power towards the Masters, targeted on plunging Eternia into imminent darkness.” Revelation ended with a tease of the character’s existence, and it appears she’ll be one of many main antagonists of the brand new present. As Hordak’s emissary, the evil AI (properly, evil-er AI) will use her powers to “manipulate Skeletor and the individuals of Eternia as she goals to ensnare the planet, and Grayskull, as a prize for Hordak.”
In that very same press launch, Foster (lately seen in Hellblazers and There’s No Such Factor as Vampires) known as her unique flip as Evil-Lyn “one in every of my most cherished roles. I’m each thrilled and honored to return again into the fold to embody an excellent, all-new villainous character that provides coloration to the colourful storytelling that Kevin Smith and Mattel have delivered to life for followers world wide.”
The express point out of Hordak by title is unquestionably going to lift some eyebrows for outdated head followers of the collection. He’s one of many most important villains of the MOTU franchise alongside Skeletor (whom he hates), and extra lately popped up as the primary baddie of Netflix’s unconnected She-Ra & the Princesses of Energy cartoon from a number of years in the past. She-Ra’s unique 1985 collection was itself a by-product to the 1983 He-Man cartoon, which Smith’s two Netflix reveals additionally are, so there’s some fascinating flags being planted right here for the way forward for these MOTU reveals. If Revolution is being break up into a number of elements like its predecessor was, possibly a type of halves will finish with a tease of a revamped Adora.
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is presently anticipated to launch on Netflix in 2024.
