Nearly 40 years after the original film, He-Man has returned to the big screen in the new Masters of the Universe movie, directed by Travis Knight and released on June 5, 2026.
The film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films, with Sony Pictures handling international distribution, follows Prince Adam as he returns to his home planet of Eternia to embrace his destiny as He-Man and save his home from the evil forces of Skeletor.
Nicholas Galitzine plays the dual role of Prince Adam and his alter ego He-Man, while Jared Leto takes on the role of Skeletor, the film's main villain.
The cast also includes Camila Mendes as Teela, the Captain of the Guards of Eternia, and Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, also known as Duncan, who is one of Adam's key allies as he fights to reclaim Eternia.
The screenplay is written by Chris Butler, Aaron and Adam Nee, and David Callaham, based on the Masters of the Universe toy line by Mattel.
