Based on the lines of Mattel toys and cartoon series from the 1980’s, the new cartoon show comes to us from the worlds biggest fanboy, who else, Kevin Smith!

Smith gleefully tossed a trailer for the show that’s already out on Netflix to watch RIGHT NOW, and then introduced the major players of the panel! Chris Wood stars as the voice of Prince Adam and He-Man; Sarah Michelle Gellar is the voice of Teela, the kingdoms Man-at-Arms; the voice of a brand-new character Lieutenant Andra, the only other Smith that matters in the world, Tiffany Smith; and the well-known Candyman himself, Tony Todd, voicing Scare Glow.

Of course, Kevin Smith had to ask how familiar all the panelists were with the source material before doing the show, and SMG responded that when she was younger cartoons were geared more male- or female-centric, and therefore while she didn’t watch a lot of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, she did grow up a fan of Skeletor, which must say a lot about her that she wouldn’t want to talk about in a panel. Tiffany Smith replied that she watched and loved those same Saturday-morning cartoons like He-Man and She-Ra and even produced some ancient beloved She-Ra action figures as proof. And dear Tony Todd, who didn’t watch the original cartoons because by that point he was out in New York hustling for his acting career, says he’s done Cons and knows the passion of fans who need every single last piece of fandom for a project they love, like this one.

All the panelists seemed to be happy to have a huge fan of the original show and toy line as their Netflix executive producer and showrunner, so it was thanks to Teddy that Kevin Smith gushed, “We can’t fail like we won’t let down the fans of the original franchise because we’ve got a huge fan of the original franchise who still has every last toy on display in his house guiding us!”

Even though he wasn’t able to be on the panel, of course, it bears mentioning that this new incarnation of Skeletor will be voiced by the Man himself, Mark Hamil! The original voice of Skeletor from the 80’s cartoons, Alan Iverson, was even brought to the new show to voice Moss-Man. Also not on the panel but always worth a mention, Henry Rollins will be voicing Tri-Klops, who in this version of Masters of the Universe in Skeletor’s absence has remade Snake Mountain into a technological church, embraced technology, and abandoned magic entirely.

Chris Wood talked about having to give two entire performances, of both Prince Adam and He-Man, in his somewhat normal speaking voice but higher for Adam and more in-the-chest-BOOM for He-Man, like Bruce Wayne and Batman.

To finish up, Kevin Smith reminded us of the immortal words of Teddy the eternal MOTU-fan when talking about the new show: “These cartoons in the ‘80s are made to sell toys, this iteration gets to use an incredibly rich IP Mattel has made. Teddy was like, look at the treasure trove of characters you have, the bench is as deep as Marvel or DC. All I ask is that you treat them like Shakespeare – don’t treat ‘em goofy, don’t make fun of ‘em, don’t be ironic. When I (Teddy) watched every episode of (the original) Masters of the Universe, I thought Skeletor was gonna kill He-Man, make me believe there are stakes, real stakes, again. “ And that’s what this new show Revelation does!

Say the glorious lines right along with He-Man and catch Masters of the Universe Revelation on Netflix now!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
