Nicholas Galitzine reveals drastic He-Man transformation for 'Masters of the Universe'

Nicholas Galitzine is wowing fans with his incredible fitness transformation for his upcoming role as He-Man in Amazon MGM’s Masters of the Universe. The actor, known for standout performances in Red, White & Royal Blue and Bottoms, recently shared a glimpse of his new physique on Instagram, leaving fans amazed at his dedication to embodying the legendary hero.

In the December 18 photo, Galitzine posed by his Christmas tree, but it wasn’t the festive decorations that caught everyone’s attention. His visibly bulked-up physique, even under a casual sweatshirt, showcased the intense preparation he’s undergone to match the towering, muscular presence of He-Man.

The long-awaited Masters of the Universe film, directed by Travis Knight, is slated for a June 5, 2026 release. The movie follows Prince Adam, a 10-year-old boy who crash-lands on Earth and is separated from his magical Power Sword. Two decades later, Adam rediscovers the sword and is transported back to Eternia to face Skeletor and reclaim his destiny as He-Man.

After years of delays involving studios like Warner Bros., Sony, and Netflix, Masters of the Universe is finally on track to hit the big screen. Fans are eagerly awaiting the first teaser or official photo of Galitzine as He-Man, a role that promises to define the summer box office of 2026.
