Is Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow set for Masters of the Universe?

I’m sure you aren’t all on the edge of your seats to find out who is directing the live-action version of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. I’ll be honest here, I’m only still hanging on because I want to know if someone can translate it well to film without it sucking.

There was a shortlist of directors that consisted of Jeff Wadlow (KICK-ASS 2), Harald Zwart (THE KARATE KID reboot), Chris McKay (editor on THE LEGO MOVIE) and Mike Cahill. Guess who looks like they have it in the bag? According to Schmoes Know, Mr. Sequel himself, Jeff Wadow has the job. The insider for the site says that they expect an announcement to be made any day now.

Terry Rossio (PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN, THE LONE RANGER) is already on board to pen the screenplay for the flick.

I was happy with the work that Wadlow did on KICK-ASS 2 so I have faith that he might be able to make it work. There’s a rumor that he’s also on the shortlist to direct the X-FORCE film.

Does this choice work for you guys?
