Masters of the Universe Movie Might Have Finally Teased Its Biggest Missing Character

by

The Masters of the Universe boasts a large cast of characters, with both heroes and villains including some unexpected faces. Alongside well-known figures like He-Man and Skeletor, you’ll find lesser-known characters like Karg and Mekaneck. Despite the already extensive list, some characters were left out – until now. The movie has hinted at the arrival of its most significant missing character, suggesting they may finally appear in the film.

Fans were surprised to see the beloved wizard Orko appear in promotional materials for the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe film. He hadn’t been featured in any trailers or official images… until now! The official tie-in comic, The Wings of Fate, includes Orko, and images shared by Dark Horse Comics reveal his silhouette behind the logo, as spotted by @dgsimo and He-Mania. You can see him in the image below.

Will Orko Be In The Masters of the Universe Movie?

Fans have a few ideas about Orko’s role in the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie. One theory suggests he is in the film, but has been digitally removed from all the trailers and clips released so far. While this has happened with other movies before, Masters of the Universe has shown a lot of footage featuring group scenes and action. Removing Orko from all of that would be a much bigger task than it has been for other films.

One popular idea is that this character appears near the end of the movie, possibly even after the credits, to establish them as a central figure in a future installment. However, delaying the introduction of an important character can be a gamble. There’s no certainty a sequel will happen, and many post-credit scenes have teased continuations that never materialized.

Okay, let’s talk about Masters of the Universe. One thing the movie does right is pack it with characters we already love. Seriously, they didn’t skimp! With Mekaneck, Moss Man, Karg, and even Goat Man showing up alongside the core heroes and villains, it feels pretty complete. I definitely can’t complain about a lack of familiar faces – they really delivered on that front.

Orko is a beloved character, and with so many others already in the movie, it would be easy for him to get lost in the crowd. To make him truly shine, it might be best to give Orko a major role in the next film, giving him the attention he deserves. We’ll find out soon enough, and thankfully, the wait won’t be long.

Masters of the Universe is set to hit theaters on June 5th, 2026.
