Amazon MGM Studios has the ability… to ship the long-awaited Masters of the Universe reboot. After greater than a decade and a half spent in growth hell, the brand new He-Man film lastly started filming final month, with Nicholas Galitzine taking part in the lead hero, a.ok.a. Prince Adam. We’ve got greater than a 12 months to go till we will see Masters of the Universe play on the massive display, however at this time the primary have a look at Galitzine’s He-Man dropped, and it’s the character’s Sword of Energy that steals the present.
I ought to make clear, whereas this does certainly qualify as a primary look, it’s missing in Galitzine’s face. As a substitute, whereas we do get to see the actor’s spectacular physique in character, it’s the Sword of Energy that’s positioned entrance and heart.
So… the place can I get considered one of these for myself? I don’t want it to channel the ability of Grayskull and switch me right into a bulked-up hero who protects the folks of Eternia, I simply need to have the ability to maintain into the air at any time when I need. Okay, however critically, that is a formidable Sword of Energy for Masters of the Universe, and I’m wanting ahead to seeing the way it appears in motion subsequent 12 months, notably when Nicholas Galitzine’s Prince Adam makes use of it to show into He-Man and when the blade is locked in battle with Skeletor, who’s being performed by Jared Leto on this film.
Very like 1987’s Masters of the Universe film, this reboot is incorporating Earth as a significant set piece its story, albeit in a considerably totally different approach. On this model of the lore, a 10-year-old Prince Adam crash-lands on our planet, the house of his mom, Queen Marlena Glenn-Grayskull, performed right here by Charlotte Riley. He’s separated from the Sword of Energy when this occurs, and 20 years later, Galitzine’s Adam takes again the Sword and travels again to Eternia and fights again in opposition to Skeleton and his forces.
Masters of the Universe’s different main gamers embody Camilia Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Morena Baccarin because the Sorceress of Fortress Grayskull, and James Purefoy as King Randor Grayskull, amongst different cool castings. Travis Knight is directing the characteristic and Chris Butler wrote the script. My fingers are crossed that earlier than principal pictures concludes, we’ll get a full have a look at Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, as I’d wish to see how his model of the character compares to previous iterations.
You possibly can see Galitzine swinging the Sword of Energy round when Masters of the Universe hits theaters on June 5, 2026. However for those who’re searching for newer He-Man content material to stream now, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, the follow-up Revolution, and 2021’s animated He-Man and the Masters of the Universe collection can all be accessed with a Netflix subscription.
