The Masters of the Universe movie is still in development, and apparently much closer to production than we thought. The movie currently has a December 18th 2019 release date.
This one has had a revolving door of directors and writers. The most recent director to exit was McG, and his exit was followed by the entrance of David Goyer as writer.
But now it appears that Goyer is also directing, as per a report in The Wrap. Goyer is, at the very least, a good choice to write this. His incredible attention to the worldbuilding of Krypton in Man Of Steel makes me wonder what he could do with Eternia. The last feature he directed was 2009’s The Unborn, and he previously helmed Blade: Trinity.
As far as I know, the previous script was by Alex Litvak and Mike Finch. It’s been a bit of a saga with this script. There had been a draft by Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) that was completed in late 2014 (that itself was a rewrite of a draft by Terry Rossio), Sony then brought in Christopher Yost to do another rewrite. Yost did some writing on the Thor movies, but it’s not clear if his work has still made it into the new Masters Of The Universe.
