It's been four decades since Dolph Lundgren first donned the iconic He-Man costume in 1987. Now, Nicholas Galitzine is taking over the mantle in the latest reboot, directed by Travis Knight. The new film, Masters of the Universe, has just hit theaters, and fans were surprised to see a cameo from Dolph himself.
In the film, Dolph appears as a man in the gym who offers advice to the 'new guy' Nicholas. The meta scene has been praised by fans. Talking about filming it, Dolph says, 'It was a bit emotional. When I showed up on set, I hadn't met Nicholas before. It was like speaking to a younger version of myself when I did the scene.'
Dolph is completely behind Nicholas and his portrayal of the iconic superhero. 'It felt like it was about time, and I'm glad the filmmakers did a great job with the picture,' says the 68-year-old action star.
When asked about how it is different for actors today, Dolph says, 'Hollywood has always been difficult. Trying to be successful and famous is difficult. It takes a lot of work and a little bit of luck.'
The new film also features Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Kristen Wiig, Morena Baccarin, and Idris Elba.
