Get the low-down on Masters of the Universe: Revelation with the new issue of SFX
He-Man is the cover star of SFX issue 342, which is now sitting in the shops, patiently waiting for you to take it home. Below we run down just a few highlights of the issue; alternatively, you can get a feel for the contents by skimming through this digital preview.
Should you have any problem finding a copy – or are self-isolating – you can always order a copy online and have it delivered to your door (while stocks list). In the UK, the price (including P&P) is the same as buying it in the shops.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation
Uber-geek Kevin Smith has revamped Eternia for a Netflix revival; we talk to the showrunner and voice cast Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mark Hamill, Tiffany Smith, Tony Todd and Chris Wood in our 10-page cover feature. Try to suppress the urge to hold a rolled-up SFX aloft in WH Smith and bellow "Iiiiii haaaaaaaave the poweeeeeer!"
The Suicide Squad
The new Suicide Squad movie looks like it might salve the bitter sting of disappointment caused by the previous one. As the misfit team returns with James Gunn at the helm, we talk to the director and eight of his cast: Peter Capaldi, John Cena, David Dastmalchian, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman, Margot Robbie, Michael Rooker and Sylvester Stallone.
Old
Mortality seems to be on fast-forward (tell us about it…) in M Night Shyamalan's existential suspenser, in which a family visiting a beach find themselves rapidly ageing. We ask the director how he somehow turned our feelings about being over 40 into a movie.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Speaking of how time flies… The Indiana Jones franchise is 40 years old! Look, don't nitpick about the month, it came out in July in the UK. So there. We celebrate the anniversary in the company of Karen Allen (Marion Ravenwood) and Paul Freeman (Belloq). Yes, of course we asked him about the fly.
War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds season one began with the discovery that, er, it's not really anything to do with the HG Wells novel, and ended with the revelation that the alien invaders look human. Gasp! What does that mean for season two? We quiz writer Howard Overman and executive producer Julian Murphy.
Time Bandits
Terry Gilliam's time-travelling fantasy also marks its 40th anniversary this month. We talk to the director about the coup of casting Sean Connery, filming at 135 degrees, and how he tweaked his plans for the ending.
And that's not all, features-wise! We also look at Big Finish's new audio adaptation of The Box of Delights, speak to American Horror Story veteran Cheyenne Jackson about his new horror-comedy Werewolves Within, and profile horror writer Grady Hendrix, while fantasy scribe Steven Erikson fills in our author questionnaire.
Red Alert
And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: Jungle Cruise, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Stargirl season two, fantasy musical Schmigadoon!, new MCU attraction Avengers Campus, Gerry Anderson novel Five Star Five, and loads more.
