The newest trailer for the Masters of the Universe has arrived, bursting with even more action and nostalgia. As fans watch He-Man and Skeletor comes to life once more, the excitement is joined by a moving plea from Marlene Sweet. She has reached out to find a way to contact the studio so the film can be dedicated to her husband — He-Man co-creator Roger Sweet — and to legendary artist T. Mark Taylor, as Roger continues his brave fight against dementia.

In her latest update on GoFundMe, Marlene Sweet thanked the fan community for their incredible support while sharing a difficult health update on her husband. Although Roger has healed from a serious fall that caused brain bleeds, his dementia continues to progress. He now has limited use of his right arm and leg, relies on a wheelchair, and needs more assistance with daily care. Marlene has also shared that she has had no success contacting the producers of the new Masters of the Universe film. She hopes it can be dedicated to her husband — He-Man co-creator Roger Sweet — and to legendary artist T. Mark Taylor, who passed away on December 23, 2021, at the age of 80.” For more updates regarding Roger Sweet and to donate, head over to his GoFundMe page.
