Recently, Nicholas Galitzine was spotted on the set of the highly anticipated Masters of the Universe film, portraying the character of Prince Adam rather than the iconic He-Man. This fresh take on the beloved franchise has generated considerable excitement among fans and film enthusiasts alike, as it marks a significant moment in the long-awaited live-action adaptation.
In the lore of Masters of the Universe, when the hero He-Man is not fully transformed, he is known as Prince Adam of the magical planet Eternia. Typically, Prince Adam is depicted in a recognizable pink shirt, which has become a hallmark of his character. After enduring a lengthy period of development challenges, the live-action film adaptation is finally in production. Nicholas Galitzine, known for his role in Red, White and Royal Blue, has taken on the dual role of Adam / He-Man. Recent images from the set reveal Galitzine confidently embodying the character in Adam mode, complete with his signature pink attire. Check out the images below to see his transformation!
Under the direction of Travis Knight, who previously captivated audiences with Bumblebee, this new adaptation of Masters of the Universe is being crafted from a screenplay by Chris Butler. The script draws inspiration from earlier drafts by David Callaham and former directors Aaron and Adam Nee. The narrative centers around a ten-year-old Prince Adam who crash-lands on Earth in a spaceship, separated from his magical Power Sword, which serves as his only connection to his home world, Eternia. Nearly two decades later, he embarks on a quest to find the sword, only to be transported back to defend his planet from the evil Skeletor. To conquer this formidable foe, Prince Adam must delve into the mysteries of his past and evolve into He-Man, recognized as the most powerful man in the universe.
The cast of this exciting film boasts a stellar lineup, including Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto portraying the villainous Skeletor, and Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, also known as Duncan. Joining them are GLOW star Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Skeletor?s right-hand woman, alongside Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress. Other notable cast members include Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Malcolm (Fisto), Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, and James Purefoy and Charlotte Riley as He-Man’s parents, King Randor and Queen Marlena. This ensemble promises to bring depth and excitement to the classic story.
Filming for this exciting adaptation is currently taking place in London, England. The recent images of Galitzine on set indicate that the film will feature sequences set on Earth, adding a unique twist to the familiar narrative. Here are the images that have fans buzzing with anticipation:
