Masters of the Universe may be coming Christmas 2019, but the movie now finds itself without a director. McG (Charlie's Angels) has been attached to the project since early 2016, but Sony Pictures is now meeting with other filmmakers as they seemingly look to take the project in a new direction.

That included a new writer in the form of David S. Goyer (Man of Steel). He's supposed to be penning Green Lantern Corps with an eye to direct, but he's clearly found the time to work on this one too.

Whether or not you're happy with that will depend on how much you like Goyer, but here's where things get really interesting. Apparently, many actors - including A-Listers - are vying for key roles in Masters of the Universe, a sign this will be well ahead of movies like Conan and Power Rangers!
