Masters of the Universe Wraps, Reveals New Origin

Filming has wrapped on the live-action Masters of the Universe movie, starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man and directed by Travis Knight, with a theatrical release scheduled for June 5, 2026. Galitzine underwent intense training and a 4,000-calorie diet to physically transform for the role, sharing a first look in costume and expressing gratitude to the cast and crew. The film is produced by Mattel and Amazon MGM Studios and features Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, and Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms. The reboot reimagines He-Man’s origin story, depicting Prince Adam exiled to Earth as a child before reclaiming his destiny and returning to Eternia to battle Skeletor. The project has overcome years of development delays and follows Mattel's cinematic success with Barbie. The role of The Sorceress is no longer mentioned, and streaming release plans are not specified.
