Nicholas Galitzine Can’t Wait to Get Started as He-Man in Masters of the Universe Movie
The wait is over for the highly anticipated Masters of the Universe movie, as Nicholas Galitzine has officially been cast as He-Man. The British actor, known for his work in romantic comedies such as The Idea of You and Red, White & Royal Blue, is set to bring the iconic character to life in the upcoming live-action film.
Galitzine expressed his excitement on Instagram, stating, “By the Power of Greyskull, I HAVE THE POWER!” He-Man’s famous catchphrase, as he announced his role as Adam, Prince of Eternia. Galitzine’s casting marks a significant milestone in the long-running franchise, which has seen various attempts and failed adaptations over the years.
Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films are collaborating on the new movie, with Travis Knight directing and Chris Butler penning the script. The film promises to be an epic adventure, reviving the beloved character and universe that has captured the hearts of many. The story follows Prince Adam, who, as He-Man, must defend his home planet of Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor, unraveling the mysteries of his past and harnessing his inner power.
The project has seen its fair share of setbacks, including a previous iteration at Netflix that was dropped over budget concerns. However, with Amazon MGM’s involvement and the creative team in place, fans can expect a high-quality and engaging film that will bring the world of Eternia to life like never before.
Galitzine’s recent successes in romantic comedies have solidified his position as a rising star in Hollywood. His roles in The Idea of You and Red, White & Royal Blue have showcased his versatility and charm, making him the perfect choice to embody the heroic He-Man. With production set to begin, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the film on June 5, 2026.
In the words of Julie Rapaport, head of film production and development at Amazon MGM Studios, “We’re thrilled to bring the cherished Masters of the Universe to life and couldn’t be more excited to announce the incredibly talented Nicholas Galitzine as our He-Man. This reintroduction of the character and his universe will be an epic film that will captivate audiences from here to Eternia.” With Galitzine at the helm, the future of He-Man looks brighter than ever.
