Netflix has announced the cast for its forthcoming new He-Man animated series Masters of the Universe: Revelation, revealing that Star Wars legend Mark Hamill will be taking on the role of our hero's arch-nemesis Skeletor.
Kevin Smith will be serving as showrunner for the anime-style show, which is being billed as a direct sequel to the classic animated series, promising a focus on the unresolved storylines of characters from the He-Man universe.
And Smith's managed to pull in quite the ensemble cast, with Hamill set to be joined by Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn, Chris Wood as Prince Adam/He-Man, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, Liam Cunningham as Man-At-Arms, Stephen Root as Cringer, Diedrich Bader as King Randor/Trap Jaw, Griffin Newman as Orko, Tiffany Smith as Andra, Henry Rollins as Tri-Klops, Alan Oppenheimer as Moss Man, Susan Eisenberg as Sorceress, Alicia Silverstone as Queen Marlena, Justin Long as Roboto, Jason Mewes as Stinkor, Phil LaMarr as He-Ro, Tony Todd as Scare Glow, Cree Summer as Priestess, Kevin Michael Richardson as Beast Man, Kevin Conroy as Mer-Man and Harley Quinn Smith as Ileena.
Gushing about his band of merry men and women, Smith said: "I cannot believe the lineup of talent I get to play with.

"The incredible, star-studded cast that Mattel's Rob David and Netflix's Ted Biaselli assembled for our Masters of the Universe series will let any lifelong He-Man fan know we're treating this cartoon seriously and honoring the legendary world of Eternia with A-list talent.
"Chris, Sarah, Mark, Lena and the other amazing actors and actresses have given performances so powerful and real in a show that features a talking giant green tiger.
"With these fantastic performers behind our characters, it'll be crazy easy to immerse yourself in the swords and sorcery of our epic sci-fi soap opera."
Fans are as thrilled as Smith is by the project, especially with the news that Mark Hamill will be stepping into the shoes of Skeletor.
