He-Man is Back! Nicholas Galitzine Suits Up for Live-Action Masters of the Universe
Following the success of last year’s Barbie movie, Mattel is flexing its movie muscles again! This time, it’s He-Man’s turn to shine on the big screen. Originally planned for Netflix with Noah Centineo, the live-action Masters of the Universe movie has landed at Amazon Studios with a new leading man – Nicholas Galitzine. This might seem surprising considering Netflix’s existing He-Man animated shows, but hey, the power of Greyskull works in mysterious ways!
Galitzine is a rising star who’s become a rom-com favorite on Amazon Prime. You might know him from Cinderella (as the prince opposite Camila Cabello), Red, White & Royal Blue (a British prince who falls for the US First Son!), and The Idea of You (a pop star with a thing for an older woman). Now, he’s trading tiaras and microphones for a sword and shield as Prince Adam, the alter ego of the mighty He-Man.
Dolph Lundgren’s 1987 He-Man movie might not have been a blockbuster, but it’s definitely a cult classic. Some fans might raise an eyebrow at Galitzine’s physique, considering He-Man’s famously muscular build. But remember the internet’s reaction to David Corenswet as Superman? Dude got ripped after intense training, and I have no doubt Galitzine will follow suit. Here’s a thought for the filmmakers: while Galitzine’s still got that lean look, maybe shoot his scenes as Prince Adam first? That way, there’s a clear visual difference between the prince and his He-Man form after the transformation!
