“That’s a wrap on Masters of the Universe,” Galitzine wrote in the caption. “It’s been the role of a lifetime. I put everything into it and I’m so proud of the movie we’ve made.”
The upcoming Masters of the Universe live-action film, set for release in summer 2026, is directed by Travis Knight (Bumblebee) and written by Chris Butler, with earlier drafts by David Callaham and the Nee Brothers. Galitzine stars as Prince Adam, who transforms into the legendary hero He-Man to protect Eternia from Skeletor and other threats.
The star-studded cast includes Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Jared Leto as Skeletor, and Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms. The film is produced by Amazon MGM Studios following Mattel’s success with Barbie in 2023.
To prepare for the physically demanding role, Galitzine reportedly consumed 4,000 calories daily and underwent intense training.
Originally launched as a toy line in 1982, Masters of the Universe became a cultural phenomenon with its animated series and 1987 film starring Dolph Lundgren. The franchise has seen multiple reboots, including Netflix’s Revelation series and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
With Galitzine now leading a new generation of fans into Eternia, anticipation is high for what’s being hailed as a major cinematic reboot of the beloved fantasy saga.
