A new adaptation of “Masters of the Universe”
After years of waiting, fans of the “Masters of the Universe” franchise can finally rejoice. A new adaptation of the cartoon, inspired by the Mattel toy line, is currently being produced. This project, initially launched by Netflix before being taken over by Amazon, seems on track for release in 2026. On display, a young rising actorNicholas Galitzine, who is best known for his roles in “The Idea of You”, “Bottoms” and “Red, White & Royal Blue”.
A casting choice that gets people talking
This casting choice raised some questions. Indeed, Galitzine, although very attractive, is usually quite thin, while the character of Prince Adam, also known as He-Man, is very muscular. However, a photo recently posted on the actor's Instagram shows him preparing intensively for the role, displaying an increasingly impressive musculature. Although there remain skeptics, Galitzine seems well on his way to playing a convincing He-Man.

An overview of Galitzine's transformation
In a photo shared to her Instagram, Galitzine stands next to a Christmas tree, wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt and shorts. Under his t-shirt, his musculature is clearly visible, proof of his intense work to prepare for the role. However, this physical transformation also raises concerns about the unrealistic standards imposed on actors when it comes to physics.
A reminder of the unrealistic expectations placed on actors
The image of Galitzine, transformed by his training for the role of He-Man, is certainly exciting for fans of the franchise. However, it also serves as a reminder of the unrealistic standards actors are held to when it comes to their looks. Steroid use and voluntary dehydration can have serious health consequences. Hopefully Galitzine trains safely and healthily for her role.
The film “Masters of the Universe” is scheduled to hit theaters on June 5, 2026.
