That was the first thing I thought too. I've never seen the guy before, but he just looks - frail.

Nah, that guy did a good job. He looks pretty huge and ripped in the movie. And he looks like He-Man. Doesn't look a thing like the dude in the picture. Maybe there's an actor that could have played the part and pulled in some fans, but I doubt it. It's a dead Intellectual Property that they are having to reboot. This was a good movie. When it comes on streaming, it will do well because people will give it a shot. The issue is most people don't care about He-Man to spend money at the movies, a lot of people have no idea what this IP even is. The Amazon team is at least aware that this movie is a jumping off point to reboot the IP, it was never going to make much at the box office, but the hope is streaming success and the Amazon Prime He-Man shows they are already greenlighting.

Agree with the above. I had critiqued the build before seeing the movie from trailers and other pictures. He pulls it off well.
He is soft ripped if that makes sense. Not cut like modern superheroes but he has a big frame and clearly lifts.
His goofy face also worked, it's He-man.

Nobody care(ed?)(s) about the he-man ip. Kids loved it in the 80s because they were starved for adventure stories and toys about fighting. It was basically a void being filled the most cost effective way possible. Its staying power over time was he man singing gay songs or skeletor vs beastman

Box office poison Jared Leto was a much bigger problem. People see his name attached and immediately boycott.
It's complete madness. Only thing I can think is he was cast several years ago for the role and got grandfathered into the project.
You don't spend 200m and have Jared Leto in your movie.

Leto is a faggot but I cannot imagine he had any noticeable effect on ticket sales.

Yeah what parent wouldn't take their kid to see a sex pest?
As for the box office-- they have AI for that now. Anyone can google his ticket sales and track record.

This is the part where you stop reacting like a faggot and state your case for why Leto would not have an effect on ticket sales.
Nine women accuse Jared Leto of sexual impropriety in new report
Women recount alleged behavior, including flirting with teenagers, as ‘predatory, terrifying and unacceptable’
Looking forward to hearing it. I can throw a dart at a wall of reasons this guy is box office poison and hit something.

Holy shit dude you might be a bigger faggot than Leto.
I realize you love the guy, but do we really need 4 posts in a row about him?

I have to agree with Seananigans on this one even though you have a point on why waste the money when he's never been any good. The kind of people who care about his personal history probably aren't taking their kids to a really old IP for boys from the 80s. A show that focuses on male heroes fighting weird looking bad guys with a sword? That's just not their kind of movie.
This movie was just never going to make money. Having Leto in it didn't help but that's because he's a bad actor that makes terrible choices. I agree he was a terrible choice but for different reasons. He sucks and he was probably expensive. They said he did a good job though, so I'll probably watch if it stays on through this weekend.
