Fans React to Noah Centineo Cast as He-Man
Actor Noah Centineo has reportedly been cast to play He-Man in Sony and Mattel’s Masters of the Universe movie based off their classic toy character He-Man.
The toy which spawned a popular kids cartoon in the 80s showed Prince Adam of Eternia using his Power Sword to transform into He-Man and protect Eternia and Castle Grayskull from the villainous Skeletor.
A previous live-action film was created with Dolph Lundgren starring as He-Man in 1987.
The new film comes from Iron Man writes Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. The film is expected to be directed by Adam and Aaron Nee.
Fans had overwhelmingly negative reactions to the casting of Centineo, who shot to fame after starring in Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Pathetic.
Today's opinion of what embodies a "he-man" is quite different from what the name implied 30+ years ago.#BlakesTweetDoesNotMakeHerAToxicMisandrist https://t.co/2xOb77mbXq

It's "HE-man" not "Soy-man"

I guess Sony really wants a flop and a bomb with he-man – who is playing Skeletor? Carrot top? pic.twitter.com/A2L0aY04Un

Noah Centineo is a fine actor, but a poor choice for He-Man, a character whose primary appeal is that he is an impossibly muscle bound barbarian. He-Man needs to be portrayed by someone large, like Taylor James#MastersOfTheUniverse pic.twitter.com/FoPplewdBy

Some speculate that Centineo might not actually be He-Man, but Prince Adam.
I’m glad they found Prince Adam, now who is playing the strongest man in the universe?

That's a great choice for Prince Adam. But @Mattel @SonyPictures @AdamNee, I would love to see @kellanlutz as He-Man 😁⚔️💪⚡⚡⚡ pic.twitter.com/QpWMo3BV81

There’s at least one person who thinks there needs to be a new idea of what a He-Man is.
I’m personally all for creating a new idea of what a “He-Man” should look like. Folks smooth forgot we’re living in 2019.

What do you think about Noah Centineo being reportedly cast as He-Man? Do you think he might actually be Prince Adam and they might cast someone else to play He-Man similar to what DC Entertainment is doing with Shazam!?
