Amazon MGM Plans Live-Action Masters of the Universe Reboot Featuring Dolph Lundgren

Dolph Lundgren, the original live-action He-Man from the 1987 film, has hinted at a possible cameo in the upcoming 2026 "Masters of the Universe" reboot by Amazon MGM Studios. While he has not confirmed his role, speculation is strong that he may portray King D’Vann Grayskull, an ancestor of He-Man. Lundgren expressed enthusiasm for the new film, praising its big budget, cast, and the romanticism of Prince Adam's character, which he sees as distinct from the harder-edged heroes of Marvel and DC. The reboot stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, alongside Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Idris Elba, and others, and is expected to bring a more faithful adaptation of the classic cartoon to the big screen. Lundgren also shared his personal health journey, revealing he is now cancer-free and credited his wife for helping him through difficult times. Overall, the new "Masters of the Universe" film promises to build on the original's legacy with both nostalgia and fresh storytelling.
