Actor Nicholas Galitzine discusses the upcoming Masters of the Universe reboot, emphasizing the significant differences between his live-action adaptation and the classic 1980s animated series.
Nicholas Galitzine is one of the most sought-after actors of his generation. While he has been in the public eye since 2014, Galitzine gained significant popularity between 2020 and 2024 with starring roles in various projects, including the romantic drama Purple Hearts, the teen comedy Bottoms, the queer rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue, the romantic dramedy The Idea of You, and the historical drama series Mary & George.
He will next be seen as He-Man in the Masters of the Universe reboot, scheduled for release in 2026. Speaking about the upcoming film, Galitzine revealed that the Prime Video live-action adaptation will be 'quite different' from the 1980s animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Based on Mattel's toy line (the same company behind Barbie), Masters of the Universe has seen multiple iterations over the decades, encompassing video games, television shows, movies, and comic series. This won't be the first time the franchise receives a live-action adaptation, as Dolph Lundgren previously portrayed He-Man in 1987. When asked by The Hollywood Reporter about the comparison between Travis Knight's live-action adaptation and the original animated series, Galitzine told the outlet: 'Look, what I will say is our version is quite different from the original animation, which we all agree was camp within its own right and worked so well for the time. But there’s been a couple of iterations, obviously since there was the Revelation version of Master of the Universe, and the comics themselves. And we’re very much treating our script as as Bible, you know. But it’s kind of amazing to hear what this show meant to a lot of people. It was really formative for a lot of people, so it’s exciting to do something that will have a nostalgia element as well as hopefully attract a bunch of new fans
