The wait is almost over as Amazon MGM has teased the trailer for the highly anticipated Masters of the Universe which sees star Nicholas Galitzine stepping into the live action shoes of He-Man which was last played all the way back in 1987 by an up-and-coming action icon known as Dolph Lundgren. Big shoes to fill indeed. The teaser does just that as it drips and oozes 80’s nostalgia with fleeting glimpses of the effects heavy reboot which looks amazing. Nothing like reminiscing about Saturday morning cartoons and a bowl of cereal to get us all excited. Scroll below for the first official footage with the extended trailer dropping online tomorrow!
Bumblebee director Travis Knight was tasked with the gargantuan task of bringing the latest live action version of He-Man to the big screen. The film follows “ten-year-old Prince Adam, who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe.”
Galitzine stars along with Camila Mendes (Riverdale) as Teela, Jared Leto (Morbius) as the villainous Skeletor, Idris Elba (Luther) as Man-at-Arms (who is also known as Duncan), GLOW’s Alison Brie as Skeletor’s second-in-command Evil-Lyn, Morena Baccarin (Deadpool & Wolverine) as The Sorceress, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson (Captain America: Brave New World) as Malcolm (a.k.a. Fisto), Sam C. Wilson (Dodger) as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson (Game of Thrones) as Goat Man, Kojo Attah (The Beekeeper) as Tri-Klops, and James Purefoy (A Knight’s Tale) and Charlotte Riley (Peaky Blinders) who are playing He-Man’s parents, King Randor and Queen Marlena.
An official press release has also accompanied the tease and implements what to expect from this new generation of Masters of the Universe so check it out below!
Masters of the Universe is a new, live-action adventure movie based on the classic 80’s toy brand. It delivers breathtaking visuals, heart-pounding action, and exhilarating fun. Audiences are in for a thrill-ride of a time!
It has a universally appealing story focusing on heroic transformation, it is about finding the power within.
The epic action and visual effects have to be seen on the big screen.
He-Man has existed across cartoons, toys, comics, and films, making it a shared reference point for multi-generational fans. This is a film that all generations of audiences can enjoy.
This movie will deliver the nostalgia that fans remember. Masters of the Universe is based on a well-known Mattel franchise with a long legacy heritage that has been captivating fans for the last forty years.
Following the astounding global success of Barbie, Masters of the Universe marks Mattel Studios’ next feature film in its growing slate of brand-led entertainment.
Even moviegoers who didn’t grow up with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe world will love the film for its action, spectacle, and epic visual effects.
The tease of the tease, yes this is where we are once again as we get teasers for trailers, is a rapid fire blink and you’ll miss it but we do get to see Galitzine and co-star Idris Elba in fleeting action along with Battle Cat before he transforms which is going to be…wait for it…LEGENDARY! Toxicity and negativity have surrounded this film as it has been in development hell for years, but I am on board and cannot wait to immerse myself into the extended look tomorrow. From what we got today, this is going to look worth the wait. The sword making an appearance is worth it alone as it is spot on.
The full teaser for Masters of the Universe drops tomorrow and the film hits theaters this summer on June 5th, 2026, to kick the summer movie season into the stratosphere!
