The views that hit the big-screen showed massive London sets with intricate backdrops, swords and accessories and He-Man in his full blonde glory with his hair blowing in the wind.

The film based on the popular toy line from Mattel Films and Escape Artists stars Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jhannes Haukur Jhannesson and Charlotte Riley with Jared Leto and Idris Elba. Plot details have not been revealed though its known that Knight is directing from a screenplay by Chris Butler based on a story by Aaron Nee, Adam Nee and Dave Callaham.

Masters of the Universe is scheduled to hit theaters next summer on June 5, 2026. Mattel launched the Masters of the Universe franchise with a line of action figures in 1982. A year later, an animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe premiered in syndication and was followed by video games and other merchandise.
