Nicholas Galitzine to Star as He-Man in Live-Action 'Masters of the Universe'

Nicholas Galitzine will take on the role of the blond barbarian in 'Masters of the Universe.'

Originally initiated over two decades ago, the project has switched hands multiple times, moving from Warner Bros. to Sony, and later to Netflix before the streaming giant scrapped it in 2023 due to budget issues. While plot details are still under wraps, a previous studio synopsis revealed that the story follows Prince Adam, known as He-Man, who crashes to Earth as a child and later returns to his home planet to protect it from the villainous Skeletor. Galitzine’s involvement in Masters of the Universe continues his growing relationship with Amazon MGM Studios, having recently starred opposite Anne Hathaway in the romantic comedy The Idea of You.
