Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The upcoming Masters of the Universe has seen multiple actors approached to play He-Man before exiting the project. The franchise, which features other iconic characters including She-Ra and King Randor, takes place in a sci-fi-fantasy world known as Eternia, which debuted in a line of Mattel figures with accompanying comics before being adapted into a popular animated show.
The timing of this meeting lined up with Lutz's push to take on more action-oriented roles after his breakout performance as Edward's athletic brother Emmett Cullen in the popular Twilight franchise. In 2014, Lutz had appeared in both The Expendables 3 and Renny Harlin's The Legend of Hercules, so at the time he was likely looking to appear in another action tentpole of a similar size.
2 Noah Centineo Cast In 2019 Close After Lutz's announcement that he was in talks to play the character failed to come to fruition, Noah Centineo became the first actor to be officially announced in the role of He-Man. After news broke in March 2019 that he was in talks for the role, Centineo confirmed that he had been cast during an interview conducted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Centineo would later play a major role in a tentpole action movie when he played DC superhero Atom Smasher opposite Dwayne Johnson in the 2022 movie Black Adam. He followed this by collaborating with Netflix once more for a more adult role as Owen Hendricks in the action-comedy The Recruit, which premiered later that year and has already been renewed for season 2.
It was possible that he had aged out of the role while more creative changes took place behind the scenes.
