Masters of the Universe is an upcoming American sword and sorcery film directed by Travis Knight and written by Chris Butler, Aaron and Adam Nee, and David Callaham. Based on the Masters of the Universe media franchise by Mattel, it is the second live-action film adaptation after the 1987 film. Nicholas Galitzine stars as Prince Adam / He-Man, with Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Jared Leto, and Idris Elba in supporting roles. The film follows Prince Adam's return to his home planet Eternia to save it and the rest of the universe from the evil forces of Skeletor.

Following the cancellation of a sequel to the 1987 film, another live-action film was announced in September 2009 by Sony Pictures Entertainment with Escape Artists producing. Following multiple writer and director changes and the casting of Noah Centineo, the rights were transferred to Netflix in January 2022, with Kyle Allen cast as He-Man and the Nee Brothers announced as directors and co-writers with Callaham. In May 2024, the rights were bought by Amazon MGM Studios, with Knight replacing the Nee Brothers. The same month, Galitzine was cast to replace Allen, while the rest of the cast was announced throughout the year. Principal photography occurred in London, England, from January to June 2025.

Masters of the Universe is scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada[a] on June 5, 2026, by Amazon MGM Studios, and internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Premise

Fleeing a devastating civil war, ten-year-old Adam Glenn, Crown Prince of the planet Eternia, is spirited away to his mother's home planet Earth, separating him from his ancestor's Power Sword. Twenty years later, a now-adult Adam must return to his father's home planet Eternia and rediscover his lost birthright, becoming He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, and leading the few remaining warriors of Eternia against the evil forces of Skeletor.[3]

Production

Development

A new He-Man film directed by John Woo was reportedly being developed in 2007, but despite many rumors circulating the Internet regarding the film's production status and casting, the project was never officially greenlit. The film rights to He-Man have reportedly since reverted to Mattel.[8]

In September 2009, Sony Pictures Entertainment took over the rights from Warner Bros. Pictures to produce the live-action adaptation after Mattel and producer Joel Silver, who was previously involved with a potential film, couldn't agree on creative direction for the film.[9] Sony and Escape Artists' Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch were to start developing the project from scratch for Sony's Columbia Pictures. In April 2010, Sony hired screenwriters Mike Finch and Alex Litvak to draft a new script.[10] Warner announced that John Stevenson would direct the upcoming feature. In May 2009, it was announced that the scripting duties had been handed to Evan Daugherty, with Stevenson still attached to direct.[11]

In late 2012, it was reported that Jon M. Chu was in talks to direct the film.[12] The original He-Man actor Dolph Lundgren did an interview with IGN about a possible role in the film as King Randor.[13] In October 2012, Richard Wenk was hired to rewrite the script for the film.[14] In March 2013, Chu said that the film was still in early development and that it would not be campy but an origin story.[15][16] In October, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Terry Rossio would scribe, and the film would be set on Eternia; the report also stated that Chu would not direct the film.[17]

In January 2014, Schmoes Know reported that Joe Cornish, Rian Johnson, Andrés Muschietti, Kirk DeMicco, Chris Sanders, and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were named as frontrunners to direct the film.[18] The following month, it was reported that directors Mike Cahill, Jeff Wadlow, Harald Zwart, and Chris McKay were on the short list to direct.[19][20] In April, they updated that Wadlow would direct the film, while The Hollywood Reporter announced that he was rewriting the script.[21][22]

In August 2015, it was announced that Christopher Yost had been hired to re-write the film.[23] In January 2016, Deadline reported that McG would direct the film and would also oversee a rewrite of the latest script by Finch and Litvak, with DeVon Franklin added as a producer.[24] In June 2016, Kellan Lutz tweeted that he has a meeting with both McG and Mary Viola about the role of He-Man.[25][26] In April 2017, it was announced that the film would be released on December 18, 2019. At the same time, McG left the film, and David S. Goyer had been hired to rewrite the script.[27] In December 2017, it was reported that Goyer was now set to not only write but direct the film.[28][29] In February 2018, Variety reported that Goyer had decided to step away as director to focus on other projects, but he would remain on board as an executive producer and screenwriter and the studio was said to be very happy with the script he turned in and was meeting with potential replacements.[30] Carlos Huante, a creature designer, former artist at Industrial Light and Magic and who also worked on the original Filmation cartoon, was hired by Goyer to work on the film; however, in an interview, Huante said that Sony felt that Goyer's script would be too expensive to bring to life, as Goyer had intended for the movie to be on the epic scale of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He confirmed that Goyer's ideas for the film would no longer be used.[31]

In April 2018, Variety reported that Aaron and Adam Nee would direct the film.[32][33] In January 2019, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway were brought in and it was announced that they would write a new draft for the film.[34] In March 2019, it was reported that Noah Centineo was in talks to play He-Man[35] with Centineo confirming a month later that he had been officially cast in the role.[36] In April 2021, it was reported that Centineo vacated the role of He-Man.[37]

In January 2022, it was announced that Netflix had officially acquired the rights from Sony, after producing the animated shows Masters of the Universe: Revelation and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, with Kyle Allen cast as He-Man. It was also revealed that the Nee Brothers and David Callaham had written a new draft of the screenplay.[38] In October 2022, Allen had stated he was working out six hours a day in preparation for the role.[39] In July 2023, Netflix cancelled the film, after spending $30 million on development, citing budgetary concerns, leading Mattel to search for a new buyer and causing the Nee brothers to no longer be the directors for the film.[40]

Pre-production

In November 2023, it was revealed that Amazon MGM Studios was eyeing to purchase the film rights.[2] In February 2024, it was announced that Travis Knight was in final talks to replace the Nee brothers and become the new director of the film, with Chris Butler hired to rewrite the screenplay.[41] In May 2024, it was officially confirmed that Knight would direct the film for Amazon MGM.[3] Production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas joined the project to oversee visual world-building and character design.[42] Richard Sale served as the costume designer.[43]

Ultimately, Butler alongside the writing team of the Nee brothers and Callaham received "screenplay by" credit, while the Nee brothers with the writing duo of Litvak and Finch received "story by" credit. Offscreen "additional literary material credit" went to Lindsey Beer, Will Beall, Peter Craig, David Odell (writer of the 1987 Masters of the Universe film), Rossio, McG, Goyer, Justin Rhodes, Yost, Jason Keller, Marcum, Holloway, Christopher Ford, Wenk, Chris Shafer, Paul Vicknair, and Wadlow.[44]

Casting

The cast of Masters of the Universe: Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie and Idris Elba

A few weeks after Amazon MGM's acquisition, Nicholas Galitzine was cast as He-Man, replacing Allen.[45][46] In August, Camila Mendes joined the cast of the film as Teela.[47] In September, Alison Brie joined the cast as the antagonist Evil-Lyn.[48] Jared Leto had been offered the role of Skeletor.[49] In November, Idris Elba joined the cast as Man-At-Arms.[50] In December, Leto was confirmed for the role of Skeletor, alongside Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson as Goat Man, and Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops.[51]

In February 2025, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, James Purefoy, Charlotte Riley, Jon Xue Zhang, Sasheer Zamata, and Christian Vunipola joined the cast of the film, playing The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, Malcolm / Fisto, King Randor, Queen Marlena, Ram-Man, Suzie, and Hussein respectively.[52][53][54] In August 2025, it was announced that Kristen Wiig had been cast as Roboto.[55]

Filming

Principal photography began on January 6, 2025, in London, with Fabian Wagner serving as the cinematographer.[56][57] Filming was originally scheduled for mid-July 2019 in Prague,[58] Summer 2022,[38][39] and April 2023.[59] On June 15, 2025, Galitzine confirmed on his Instagram that filming had officially wrapped.[60]

Post-production

Paul Rubell serves as the film's editor.[61] Tim Burke and David Vickery serve as the film's visual effects supervisors, with visual effects provided by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), DNEG, Rodeo FX, Cinesite, Untold Studios and Host VFX.[62] Daniel Pemberton serves as composer.[63] In February 2026, Queen guitarist Brian May revealed that he was working with Pemberton on the soundtrack.[64]

Release

Masters of the Universe is scheduled to be released by Amazon MGM Studios in the United States and Canada[a] on June 5, 2026.[65] It was originally going to be released theatrically in the United States on March 5, 2021, by Sony Pictures Releasing,[66] until Uncharted (which itself was later delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic)[67] briefly took over its release date.[68]
