Sony Pictures has been working toward a cinematic reboot centered on classic hero character, He-Man for sometime now. Efforts date as far back as 2007 as rumors swarmed the internet and the film’s ownership changed hands to Colombia Pictures via Sony with G.I. Joe: Retaliation helmer Jon M. Chu’s name once circles to direct.

Sony, along with Escape Artists and Franklin Entertainment are producing the film focused on the title character inspired by Mattel’s 1970’s toyline leading up to a successful animated series, and the 1987 feature film adaptation of the same name from director Gary Goddard for Cannon Films. Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch and DeVon Franklin are producing with McG overseeing a rewrite to be finalized by Alex Litvak and Mike Finch.
