The released image sparked a flurry of speculations on social media on whether it was an official teaser of He-Man's actual steed, with a number of reactions praising the classic design and tough-stance of the iconic fighting mount, while expressing their anticipation for the film's release.

In another tweet from Franklin, it was revealed development on the He-Man reboot would be entirely dependent on recently named Sony Pictures' Chairman, Tim Rothman.

Earlier on, Franklin released the title logo for the proposed reboot on his Twitter feed, with the promise of more updates on the live action movie.

After a troubling set of stops and starts since 2007 when John Woo was rumored to be developing a reboot, no director has yet been named to helm the film. Sony bought the rights to He-Man from Warner Bros. in 2009, and announced "Kung Fu Panda" director, John Stevenson would be taking over.

In 2012, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" helmsman, Jon M. Chu was signed on to direct, with original He-man, Lundgren presented with a possible role as King Randor. In 2014, several filmmakers were announced as front runners to direct, with no decision from the studio at present on the live action reboot of the '80s popular children's cartoon character.
