It was two years ago to the day that Centineo, star of
The Fosters and the
To All the Boys franchise, confirmed that he was set to play He-Man in the upcoming live-action reboot of
Masters of the Universe, based on the eternally popular toy line and animated series of the 1980s. Two years later, there’s been very little progress on the project — and now it seems like it’s back at square one.
TheWrap reports that Centineo has quietly dropped out of the film, leaving the new He-Man without its new He-Man. (Dolph Lundgren played the role in the last live-action He-Man movie, which was released in 1987.) The trade confirmed the news with a Centineo representative, but were given no reason for the decision.
