Writers and actors have been fighting for their share of justice in Hollywood. The streamers including, Netflix, are not coming to the negotiation table with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA as of now. Amidst this chaotic time in the industry, the American streaming giant pulls the plug on a big dream project after spending a lot of money as a part of the development cost.
A lot of projects saw the effects of the ongoing strike in Hollywood, and Netflix’s upcoming project also fell prey to the same. Netflix was involved in making the live-action adaptation of He-Man and a slew of other popular Mattel toys. The live-action movie, Masters of the Universe, is officially dead <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/masters-of-the-universe-movie-dead-netflix-1235673281/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported Variety</a>. The film has already suffered many rejections from various studios. However, while this American streaming giant gave hope to fans, recent news reveals the opposite.
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="NEWS: The New ”Masters of the Universe” Live-Action film is officially DEAD at Netflix" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MoFWoZ373VI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
The budget for the upcoming movie was over $200 million and it was ready to begin filming in February. However, with Netflix losing subscribers and stocks falling down, the executives became concerned about spending a lot of money. The Masters of the Universe producers came up with a revised budget of $180 million as well, but the OTT platform denied it and pulled the plug on the entire project.

Around $30 million has already been spent on the pre-production of the flick, but now the film is officially dead. While the future of this forthcoming live-action is not certain, this is not the first project that made the streaming service provider concerned.
<h2>WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have affected many Netflix projects</h2>
Before the strike began, many projects were already under production. However, because of the strike, shows like <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/cobra-kai/">Cobra Kai</a>, <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/">Stranger Things</a>, and others have suffered miserably. The<a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-strike-hard-no-mercy-cobra-kai-creators-express-their-support-for-writers-strike-with-this-beautiful-gesture/"> Cobra Kai makers even stopped production to protest against the studios</a>.

Now, this He-Man-based upcoming live-action is also suffering. Notably, the American streamer has been concerned about the loss of its subscribers for a long time now. Because of their changing policies of password sharing and methods, releasing the shows has affected their viewership. Moreover, it has also canceled many fan-favorite shows because of various reasons.
