Anyone who watched the He-Man cartoon series in the 80s surely remembers it.
Created by Roger Sweet in 1981, the character He-Man began his journey in the world of cartoons and continued to thrive in the toy industry, video games, and literature, becoming a popular cultural icon.
Now, the He-Man adventure is set to return to screens with a new film.
Netflix and Amazon MGM Studios are working on a new live-action adaptation of the 'Masters of the Universe' franchise.
According to Variety, Nicholas Galitzine will portray He-Man in the upcoming "Masters of the Universe" film.
The 29-year-old actor has recently gained fame for his roles in 'The Idea of You' and the series 'Mary & George.'
The "Masters of the Universe" franchise was previously adapted into a live-action film in 1987, with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor.
However, the film, directed by Gary Goddard, did not perform well at the box office.
Over the years, several live-action projects have been proposed, but none were completed.
With Travis Knight at the helm, this new film is set to release in June 2026. Will it succeed 'by the power of Grayskull'? We will have to wait and see.
