Mark Hamill has been hard at work as of late. Sure, the lightsaber-wielding Star Wars hero is best known for his time in front of the camera. However, Hamill is also a highly respected voice actor. Behind the mic, Hamill is best known for his performance as The Joker within both the Batman: The Animated Series and the video game Batman: Arkham Asylum. Now, Hamill is putting his famous voice to work once again. This time around, the Star Wars hero will be joining a star-studded cast for the upcoming series Masters of the Universe: Revelations.

Masters of the Universe: Revelations is set within the world of the iconic television series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe that was made famous during the early 1980s. As reported by IGN, the new series will pick up where the original series left off. He-Man, the series’ protagonist, will be played by Chris Wood. Skeletor, the show’s villainous evildoer, will be played by Mark Hamill. That being said, Masters of the Universe: Revelations’ star-studded cast certainly does not stop there.

While Mark Hamill has been getting the most media attention out of the cast so far, veteran Game of Thrones cast member Lena Headey will also be playing an important role within the series.

Of course, the Masters of the Universe: Revelations showrunner is capable of generating buzz all on his own.
