Travis Knight 'Masters of the Universe' Interview at CinemaCon 2026In an exclusive interview on the CinemaCon floor, director Travis Knight opens up about the daunting task of bringing Masters of the Universe to live-action. Knight discusses how he cracked the code to adapting the beloved franchise by treating the source material with genuine emotional sincerity, rather than just relying on 1980s camp. He praises the intense physical transformations of stars Nicholas Galitzine (He-Man) and Jared Leto (Skeletor), and emphasizes his heavy reliance on practical effects, real-world sets, and faithful costume designs to honor the original Mattel toy line.Visit  https://nerdist.com/article/masters-of-the-universe-travis-knight-interview-cinemacon-2026/  to read or listen to the article.Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player) Hosted on Acast.
