Masters of the Universe

Trivia: Gwildor was an original character who did not appear in the Mattel MOTU line until after the movie's broadcasting.

Trivia: If you wait till the very end of the film there is an extra Scene where Skeletor vows that he shall return, alluding to the sequel that never came.

Trivia: The film was largely a disappointment both commercially and critically. A sequel to the film was written, but by 1989 the He-Man franchise was no longer popular, and the script was transformed into the action film Cyborg.

Trivia: Frank Lengella took the role of Skeletor because his son was a big fan of the "He-Man" cartoon and action figures. He has since fondly spoken of the experience and called it one of his favorite parts he's ever played, since he could just have fun with the role.

Questions

Chosen answer: A sequel was not only planned, but money was spent developing sets and costumes. However, Dolph Lundgren did not want to reprise the role, so Laird Hamilton was picked to play He-Man with Albert Pyu set to direct. Canon Films, who produced the first movie, was also planning on producing a Spider-Man movie. However, Canon Films still owed money to Mattel and Marvel for the character rights that they couldn't feasibly pay, so both projects had to be scrapped. Incidentally, not wanting to let money go to waste on sets and costumes, they had Pyu come up with a movie to utilize them, which resulted in Cyborg starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
