A new trailer for the highly anticipated Masters of the Universe movie was recently released, finally giving fans their first look at Jared Leto's voice as Skeletor.
Fans have been looking forward to the release of the new cinematic adaptation of the beloved Mattel toy line from the '80s. The first trailer was released months ago and offered a glimpse at Nicholas Galitzine's version of He-Man and the contemporary version of Eternia. Now, a new trailer has been unveiled, and we have our best glimpse at the villain.
Masters of the Universe New Trailer Offers First Look at Jared Leto's Voice as Skeletor
As we're now more than two months away from its theatrical release, Amazon MGM Studios released the new trailer for Masters of the Universe.
While we got an extended glimpse at He-Man and his friends' adventure and the world of Eternia, the main highlight is the reveal of Jared Leto's voice as Skeletor. The first trailer already showed the character's design, which is accurate to the source material.
Ever since it was revealed that Leto has been cast to play the iconic villain, fans have been wondering what his voice would sound like as the character and whether it would be similar to Alan Oppenheimer's in the '80s animated series.
As it turns out, based on the trailer, Leto did not use his regular voice at all, and he made an effort to make his vocalization as Skeletor sound menacing, similar to the original. This might ease the concerns of some fans who have been wondering whether he can effectively play the villain.
Now, it's interesting to see how it plays out once we see the film in its entirety, and, hopefully, it's a cinematic adaptation of Masters of the Universe that delivers what fans have been wanting for.
What to Expect in Masters of the Universe
