While fans are excited for the He-Man series, some Masters of the Universe: Revelation review has pointed out that the chance of He-Man taking the centre stage in the show could be limited, judging from other characters' screentime in the trailer. 

The story of He-Man

In the illustrated comic books released with the first series of toys, He-Man was a barbarian from an Eternian tribe. The story revolved around the planet and its inhabitants who were dealing with the aftermath of the Great Wars, which completely ruined the civilizations. Advanced machinery and weaponry were left behind from the war, and was known only to select people. An early incarnation of the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull gave He-Man some of these weapons and thus making him a dominant force. He righteously decided to defend the secrets of Castle Grayskull from the evil villain Skeletor.

He-Man possessed one-half of the Power Sword while Skeletor had the second half, which often made their fights evenly matched. The two halves of the Power Sword when joined, provided the key to Castle Grayskull. The duo fought multiple times for the other half of the sword. In one of the illustrated storybooks, He-Man and Skeletor united their two Power Sword halves to form the true Power Sword, defeating a common enemy, which didn’t happen in the original cartoon series.
