John Glover (Smallville's Lionel Luthor) has signed to play Skeletor in the upcoming live action He-Man film directed by John Woo.

Talk about perfect casting!

This is the first casting for the film. Hopefully He-Man will be cast soon.

No-one will ever beat Dolph Lundgren.

...It's really happening.

Finally, real news instead of guesses. You have no idea how pleased I am.

I don't believe it. A real He-Man movie. Absoultly in-freaking-credible.

Well after the fate of the toon-Heman deserves a movie! I hope She Ra will be in it! I want She-Ra!!!!

He-Man ANYTHING makes me happy, at this point.

I presume you watched the new show and collected the new toys? Hey I wonder if Battle Cat will be a trained animal or a CGI type of figure like in The Lion,The Witch and The Wardrobe

BTW speaking of Heman, is anyone collecting the orignal Heman DVDs?

Yeah, and that's actually the version of He-Man I prefer, as I was never into it as a kid.

Hopefully, if the movie actually warrants a new toyline, Mattel will grow a braincell and LEARN HOW TO MAKE PROPER CASE ASSORTMENTS!!

The only villain I ever saw on shelves aside from a Skeletor variant was Beast Man. Oh wait, I saw Tri-Clopse. ONCE.

According to Kryptonsite, John Glover knows nothing about signing up to play Skeletor. So for now he's denying it. But IMO it would still be perfect casting.

He-Man toys are doing poorly here, they are everywhere at KB Toys and Big Lots! Right now they arew like 3.99 a figure or less. I once saw a Buy 1 get 1 free those toysare still there. I just wish the She Ra toy had been released but noooo stupid parents whined and theshow was cancelled before Sh Ra could air!

I think he's busy with Smallville & House that might be why.

More likly hes' denying it because its' false, not one to get my hopes up for a film project that keeps emerging with news, only to have it contradicted or eventually becomes impossible to develop further.

...And the cartoon was'nt cancelled due to parents complaining, it was cancelled because nobody under the age of fifteen or eighteen was watching the cartoon (C.Ns' fault), or buying the toys (Mattels' fault)

Really? Now I didn't know that. I heard it was cancelled cause the parents complained about the Snakeman episode where the snakes atarted to eat that 1 guy's head.

But I gotta be honest, the cartoon was hard to watch. I had Justice League, Static Shock & TMNT I watched as well. But He-Man was meant for ADult Swim IMO
