Previous reports indicate that four top contenders are in the mix to take a seat behind the lens to helm the project.
The frontrunners are:
- Mike Cahill – Directed: “Another Earth”, “Kick-Ass 2”.
- Chris McKay – One of the editors of “The Lego Movie”
- Harald Zwart – Directed : “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”, “The Karate Kid”
- Jeff Wadlow – Directed: “Kick-Ass 2” ( future project – “X-Force”)
“G.I. Joe: Retaliation” helmer John M. Chu was initially onboard to direct the new take on the 1980s cartoon series, however he is no longer involved in the project. The story revolves around He-Man and his friends who are responsible for defending the realm of Eternia and the secrets of Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
