It might be the “unflattering” 2013 Superbowl Halftime Show
that made everyone ponder, but should America’s most beloved pop diva Beyoncé
consider starring a new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie remake?

Even though the pop diva had been requesting her fans on
Facebook not to further share her “unflattering” photos of her 2013 Superbowl Halftime
Show performance – i.e. that leather bodysuit that made her look like the
villainess Evil-Lyn of Mattel’s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon
of the early 1980s - should Beyoncé star in a new He-Man and the Masters of the
Universe movie remake? After all, she really looks the part, right?
Even though He-Man’s original creator, Roger Sweet, only got
scant credit after the gargantuan U.S.-based toy company Mattel got the
distribution rights when it first aired back in 1983, the 1987 live action
movie of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe that starred the up-and-coming
action star Dolph Lundgren and a then newcomer named Courtney Cox who would
later burst to stardom in the 1990s friends, never appealed to the fan of the
original 1980s era TV aired animated series. But will a new movie remake that
stars Beyoncé Knowles be the brilliant solution for blockbuster success? By the
way, in the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie, Evil-Lyn was played by Meg
Foster and despite a catchy soundtrack by Living in a Box, the movie was only
moderately successful in box office terms.
Though the villainess Evil-Lyn in the original animated TV
series of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe might have been probably “inspired”
by one of Roger Sweet’s ex-girlfriends – maybe named Evelyn – whose break-up
was never amicable is one of the most notable main characters of the original
animated series to the hearts of fans who’ve seen the show first hand during
the 1980s. But will Beyoncé feel comfortable playing the villainess, if Halle Berry
is cast as the Sorceress?
