Nicholas Galitzine just got loincloths damp everywhere with a peek at his He-Man debut.
The Red, White & Royal Blue heartthrob just wrapped filming on Masters of the Universe, Amazon MGM Studio’s long-anticipated live-action reboot of the iconic '80s franchise produced by Mattel Films and Escape Artists.
To mark the moment, Galitzine posted a moody, backlit photo on Instagram, showcasing the essentials: a sword, gauntlets, boots, and the signature loincloth. Or, you know, all the parts that matter.
“Well, that’s a wrap on Masters of the Universe,” he wrote in the caption. “It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He-Man. It’s been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it.”

Galitzine’s transformation into the “most powerful man in the universe” didn’t come easily. Back in January, he told W Magazine that prepping for the role meant radically changing his lifestyle. “I’m eating about 4,000 calories a day, but the amount of physical work I’m doing, you end up hungry at the end of the day, which is quite surprising.”
The new Masters film, directed by Bumblebee’s Travis Knight and written by ParaNorman’s Chris Butler, promises a visually rich, high-energy adaptation that leans into both nostalgia and modern blockbuster flair. Galitzine stars as Prince Adam, who transforms into the mighty He-Man to protect his home planet, Eternia, from the evil Skeletor, played by Jared Leto. The cast also includes Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, and Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress.
Though the project has been in development limbo for years (and passed through multiple studios and He-Men, including Noah Centineo and Kyle Allen), Mattel’s post-Barbie momentum seems to have finally brought it across the finish line.
Masters of the Universe is slated for theatrical release on June 5, 2026, followed by streaming on Prime Video. There’s no official trailer yet, but if this single shot of Galitzine with a sword and a smirk is any indication, the summer of 2026 is already too hot to handle.
