Brad Pitt As He-Man?
As if the 1987 original starring Dolph Lundgren and a young Courtney Cox wasn’t bad enough, another live-action film based on the ‘80s cartoon “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” is said to be in the works, this time with Brad Pitt as the sword-wielding and tiger-riding superhero. Legendary Pictures, who gave us ‘Superman Returns’, is at the forefront of the project.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “They are very keen on Brad for the role. He will have to bulk up though - he is very fit but not to ‘He-Man’ proportions.”
He-Man - the most powerful man in the universe - is a sword-wielding hero with superhuman powers. The original cartoon series was one of the first TV shows to inspire a range of action figures, made by Mattel.
He-Man and his heroic friends defended the world of Eternia and the secrets of Castle Greyskull from the evil powers of Skeletor.
Should Pitt be too busy chasing Angelina Jolie all over the world buying babies and turn the role down, they’re thinking about getting “300” star Gerard Butler to play “The Most Powerful Man In The Universe”. Now they’re talking. What would be a casting coup though would be Marc Anthony playing Skeletor. That way, the producers won’t have to spend much on special effects.
