Overview
- The live‑action Masters of the Universe opened in German cinemas on Thursday, June 4, and the film is being rolled out with premieres in Berlin, London and New York.
- Galitzine plays a dual role as Prince Adam and He‑Man and told reporters the hardest part was switching quickly between comedy, crying and action in the same scenes.
- To build He‑Man’s physique he followed intense strength training and reported eating about 5,000 calories a day during filming, though he has since lost the bulk to stay versatile for other roles.
- The film features a high‑profile ensemble including Jared Leto as Skeletor, Camila Mendes as Teela and Idris Elba as Man‑At‑Arms, and it was directed by Travis Knight after Amazon MGM revived a project with a long development history.
- The reboot modernizes elements of the story—including Adam’s origin on Earth—and the high‑visibility casting and premieres position Galitzine for a major career shift while raising questions about how studios will use him next.
