This summer blockbuster, directed by Travis Knight, promises to bring the iconic Mattel franchise back with a bang, hitting theaters on June 5, 2026.
What’s the Story, He-Man?
For those who grew up shouting “By the Power of Grayskull!”, this new “Masters of the Universe” is a live-action reimagining of the beloved 1980s toy line and animated series. The film will follow Prince Adam, who was sent to Earth as a child and raised as Adam Glenn.
His destiny unfolds when he uncovers the magical Power Sword, transforming him into the mighty He-Man. He then returns to his homeworld of Eternia to face off against the nefarious Skeletor and save his kingdom with the help of familiar faces like Teela, Man-At-Arms, and the Sorceress.
Expect an epic blend of fantasy, action, and a healthy dose of nostalgia designed to thrill both longtime fans and a new generation.

Nicholas Galitzine steps into the formidable boots of Prince Adam/He-Man. He’s reportedly undergone intense physical training for the role, calling it one of the most demanding experiences of his career – and we can only imagine the muscle it takes to be the most powerful man in the universe!
The star-studded ensemble cast also includes some major names: Jared Leto, Camila Mendes, Idris Elba, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, Kristen Wiig, James Purefoy, Charlotte Riley, and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson. That’s a lineup that could make even Skeletor a little nervous!
When Can We See It?
Mark your calendars! “Masters of the Universe” is scheduled to premiere on June 5, 2026.
Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films, with Sony Pictures Releasing handling international distribution, this film is shaping up to be a major cinematic event. A first full trailer debuted in January 2026, giving eager fans an early glimpse of Eternia’s majesty, the iconic Power Sword, and the thrilling central conflict between He-Man and Skeletor.
