The highly anticipated ‘Masters of the Universe’ movie is set to bring the iconic characters of Mattel’s beloved franchise to life on the big screen.

Alongside them are Alison Brie and Idris Elba adding even more star power to this epic tale. Scheduled for release on June 5, 2026, the film will follow Prince Adam’s journey from a crash-landing on Earth to his rise as He-Man, defender of the planet Eternia.

As you can see, Galitzine got pretty buffed for the role.

The “He-Man movie” has gone through many changes since 2007, with different studios, directors, and writers involved over the years. Sony took over in 2009 and went through multiple script rewrites and director changes, but the project kept facing delays.

In 2022, Netflix acquired the rights and cast Kyle Allen as He-Man, but they later canceled the film in 2023 due to budget concerns. Amazon MGM Studios then picked up the project in 2024, with Travis Knight as the director and Nicholas Galitzine cast as He-Man.

Filming finally began in January 2025 in London, with a star-studded cast including Jared Leto as Skeletor and Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms.
