Amazon MGM Studios has released the first official teaser image of Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man in the upcoming Masters of the Universe live-action film, set to hit theaters on June 6, 2026.

Directed by Bumblebee filmmaker Travis Knight, the new adaptation appears to embrace its cartoon and action figure roots more than the 1987 film starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella. However, like its predecessor, much of the story will take place on Earth rather than Eternia. The teaser image arrives shortly after leaked set photos revealed a more grounded version of Prince Adam, sparking speculation among fans.

Joining Galitzine in the star-studded cast are Jared Leto as Skeletor, Camila Mendes as Teela, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, and Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress. With a powerhouse cast and a director known for action-packed storytelling, Masters of the Universe is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fantasy films of 2026.

Fans of the franchise have long awaited a faithful live-action adaptation of He-Man’s adventures, and this new image suggests the film will deliver on nostalgia while introducing the character to a new generation.
