I
had to take time away from my busy 31 Days of Halloween schedule to
do this. Sometimes I just feel like writing about something, and when
I do I have to go with it.
I haven’t done a
Troublemaker Casting post in a long time and the recent news that
some guy I have never heard of is rewriting the Masters of the
Universe live action movie that will never happen got my brain
working. I decided I wanted to sit down and do a fantasy casting
session and maybe even see if I could crank out an idea or two about
a story that could realistically work as a film.
Now, the casting is who I
think would be the most fun as each character. I just wanted to fill
as many roles as I could for fun and then work from there.





Teela’na/Sorceress (Cate Blanchett) – As Teela’na she seems like an open book. Vital and free and powerful, yet somewhat unsure of herself. As the narrative goes on she becomes more secluded from the rest of the world, yet more serene at the same time.



Duncan (Dolph Lundgren) – This mustachioed warrior is the cornerstone of the group of Randor, Teela’na, Marlena, and Keldor. He is the unquestioned voice of Randor and is absolutely loyal to the royal family and Castle Eternos. He was a captain in the Royal Guard until newly crowned King Randor appointed him his Man-At-Arms. Duncan and Randor are as close as brothers.

Keldor/Skeletor (Bryan Cranston) – Keldor is a Gar and one of the heroes of The Great War who is beloved by the people of Eternia, as well as his companions. He is deeply in love with the magic user, Teela’na. How he becomes the Lord of Destruction remains to be seen… (I used Langelletor because I think that design is almost perfect)

Fisto (Sean Bean) – Malcom is Duncan’s older brother. He was absent during The Great War, but returned and redeemed himself at some point. The two brothers are close, but due to Malcom’s perceived cowardice during The Great War he cannot hold a position in the Royal Court. He will not speak of his whereabouts during the time he was gone.

Orko (Tom Papa)
– This Trollan has been the Court Entertainer ever since Teela’na
found him and presented him to Randor and Marlena. He is close
friends with Prince Adam.


Beast Man (Kevin Grevioux) – Raqquill Raqazz is the king of the Bursia (the Beast Men) and has agreed to work with Skeletor in order to have his people’s lands – the Vine Jungle - returned to them. During Randor’s uniting of Eternia, the Bursia refused to swear fealty to the throne. Years later when they came into conflict with the Qadians over some neighboring lands, the Qadians attacked and drove them from the Vine Jungle. Since the Bursia were not part of the Kingdom, Randor did not intervene.



Ram Man (Michael Chiklis) – Ram Man is a powerful and loyal warrior. He is a lieutenant in the Royal Guard.



Jitsu (Riki Takeuchi) – Both of Jitsu’s names are stupid so we’ll come up with something new. He is one of Skeletor’s lieutenants and the best hand-to-hand fighter on Eternia. He has mastered every fighting style known on the planet after years of living a nomadic lifestyle. His sole purpose is to defeat all of Eternia’s greatest warriors. Jitsu does not speak. Skeletor has recruited Jitsu specifically to defeat Eternia’s greatest warrior, King Randor.

Mekaneck (Evan Peters) – Orius is a young lieutenant in the Royal Guard. His neck is broken by Jitsu during Skeletor’s invasion of Eternos Palace. Orius attempts to protect King Randor from the martial artist and is severely wounded during the futile battle.

Catra (Alexandra Breckenridge) – She is a lieutenant in the Boundless Army of the Imperial Horde. When Force Captain Adora betrays the Horde she is promoted to Force Captain and given a magical mask that allows her to transform into a giant panther. Unbeknownst to her, it also allows Hordak to subtly undermine her free will, eliminating the possibility of betrayal.

Hordak (Idris Elba) – Hec-Tor Kur is a world conqueror. He is the Emperor of the Horde and commander of the Boundless Army of the Imperial Horde. He is a master sorcerer and a technological fetishist. He has no specific understanding of tech, but employs Modulok and Entrapta to constantly evolve and enhance himself and the Imperial Army. Kur has many cybernetic implants to enhance his strength, intelligence, and willpower. The latter make him a more effective magic user than any non-enhanced sentient. (I hope this doesn't upset any assholes - I know Hordak is white)
Colonel Blast (Danny Trejo) – Rio Blast is a colonel in the Boundless Army of the Imperial Horde. He is a master of all energy pulse weapons and has a thirst for battle.



Chief Carnivus (Tony Todd) – He is the ruler of the Qadians, a leonine species that are the more sophisticated cousins of the Bursia. He is arrogant but honorable. His allegiance to Randor is unbreakable.


Grizzlor (Tyler Mane) – Gur’rull Gu’Rrooowarrrk is General of the Boundless Army of the Imperial Horde and Hordak’s most trusted subordinate. Quiet and brooding, he is the best strategic mind in the empire. His pensive nature combined with his brutality in combat lead those unfamiliar with him to think Grizzlor a savage.
I might post a bit of story soon, as well.
