KUALA LUMPUR — Those who grew up in the 80s will be familiar with the love and nostalgia surrounding Masters of the Universe, the classic animated series.

Audiences nationwide are now looking forward to the upcoming live-action adaptation, which stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, and Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress.

To celebrate the film’s upcoming theatrical release, a large-scale drone light show inspired by Masters of the Universe lit up the skies above Bukit Bintang on Friday night.

Marking a major milestone for the local entertainment scene, Malaysia was chosen for the exclusive global campaign alongside Los Angeles (United States) and Mexico.

Fans arrived approximately around 7pm in He-Man and Skeletor-inspired outfits, with some even bringing figurines, showing how the love for the franchise remains strong after decades.

Organised by Amazon MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment Malaysia, the activation took place at 10:30 pm, illuminating the Kuala Lumpur night sky.

The display featured 600 synchronised drones, recreating iconic imagery from the franchise, including a glowing 3D Power Sword and a cinematic clash between He-Man and Skeletor.

He-Man rides Battle Cat and Castle Grayskull, while words associated with He-Man, including his famous catchphrase: “By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!”, was also showcase.

The show concluded with a message in the sky that read: “Malaysia, We Have The Power”, drawing a loud cheer from the crowd.
