Nicholas Galitzine has been cast as Price Adam of Eternia, better known as He-Man, in the upcoming Masters of the Universe film.
News about the 29-year-old actor, who recently spoke about being described as a ‘babygirl’, was revealed on Wednesday, when it was announced that the film would be directed by Travis Knight and written by Chris Butler.
Plot details about the upcoming fantasy action film are being kept under wraps.
Amazon MGM Studios head of film production and development Julie Rapaport issued a statement to show her excitement over the actor’s casting.
She stated through Deadline: “We are thrilled to bring the beloved He-Man to life and couldn’t be more excited to announce the immensely talented Nicholas Galitzine as our He-Man.”
This comes after Nicholas starred in the hit film The Idea Of You alongside Anne Hathaway.
Nicholas Galitzine has been cast as Price Adam of Eternia, better known as He-Man, in the upcoming Masters of the Universe film. The character was previously played by Dolph Lundgren in the 1987 film Masters Of The Universe.
Rapaport added: “This reintroduction of the character and his universe will be an epic film that will delight audiences from here to Eternia.”
Years ago there was talk that Noah Centino would get the role, but he denied it.
Mattel Films president Robbie Brenner also shared a message to describe The Idea Of You star as “charismatic and talented.”
Currently, Masters Of The Universe will debut in theaters on June 5, 2026.
The film will be based on the media franchise of the same name, which began with the 1982 launch of a toy line.
The line was followed by an animated series titled He-Man And The Masters of the Universe, which premiered in 1983.
The show had a total of two seasons, which were made up of a total of 130 episodes, and its finale aired in 1985.
The show was then adapted into a film, titled Masters of the Universe, which was released in 1987.
The film, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor, proved to be a commercial and critical failure upon its release.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe was followed by a trio of shows, and Masters of the Universe: Revolution, created by Kevin Smith, premiered on Netflix last January.
The franchise has also been the basis for several spin-offs, several of which have focused on He-Man’s sister and female counterpart, She-Ra.
Over the years, numerous video games and comic series have also been released focusing on the characters from the Masters Of The Universe franchise.
