Star Trek star William Shatner is to appear in Netflix's upcoming He-Man project, Masters of the Universe: Revolution. Revealed during the franchise's San Diego Comic-Con panel, Shatner is the first new actor confirmed for what's presumed to be a sequel to last year's Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
Very little else is known about the project as it was only announced last month at Netflix's Geeked Week. We know Kevin Smith is returning to executive produce the animated project, which is due to pick up right where the previous series left off.
He'll presumably join Mark Hamill, Chris Wood, Lena Headey and other cast members in Revolution, as He-Man and friends are once again forced to take on the nefarious Skeletor.
More will be revealed tomorrow, July 22, however, as Shatner is due to appear on IGN's own Comic-Con Live Show. Though he's most famous for his role as Captain James Kirk in Star Trek, the 91-year-old has featured in countless television shows and films in his career that spans seven decades.
In our 8/10 review of last year's series, IGN said: "Masters of the Universe: Revelation uses the original He-Man sandbox to truly go wild and explore these characters in ways that allow them to break tired moulds and dissolve old conventions."
There's tons of news for all your favorite shows, films, games, and more coming out of San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and we've got the full schedule to guide you through the weekend of panels, announcements, trailers, and surprises.
