The planet Eternia nonetheless doesn’t fairly exist but, however that didn’t cease Amazon and MGM from giving CinemaCon 2025 attendees a sneak peek at the new movie Masters of the Universe. Director Travis Knight is presently on set in the United Kingdom filming the extremely anticipated adaptation of the well-liked Hasbro toy line, however despatched just a little featurette/sizzle reel to the conference so theater homeowners know that subsequent summer time, He-Man is coming.

Once more, most of the fantasy world of Eternia goes to be made with large elaborate units and much of CGI, so we didn’t see a lot of that in the footage. What we did see was star Nicholas Galitzine in what appeared like a younger man’s bed room, sitting on the mattress enthusiastic about one thing. Later he was mendacity on the flooring in these variety of pink and white garments we affiliate with Prince Adam, He-Man’s alter ego.

“We’re making a movie I’ve spent my complete life dreaming about,” Knight mentioned in the footage.

“Bringing Eternia to life is not any small activity. The characters, the units, the sheer scale,” Galitzine and co-star Camila Mendes, who’s taking part in Teela, mentioned. “We’re doing all of it. And with one factor in thoughts: to create an epic movie show expertise for audiences round the world.”

Additional footage confirmed a stone room with an enormous metallic show in the center of it showcasing the Sword of Energy. We noticed Galitzine swing it round a bit, in addition to footage of him in the health club, lifting weights with Masters of the Universe posters on the partitions.

“It’s extremely thrilling to me to deliver this world to life for an entire new era,” Knight mentioned.

“We’re not making a cartoon right here,” added one of his manufacturing staff. “We’re making a live-action fantasy movie about the strongest man in the universe.”

In fact, you may’t have He-Man with out an unimaginable forged of supporting characters and a killer villain. We didn’t get to see Skeletor’s face in the footage however Jared Leto performs the function, and it seems like little or no of him, not less than from the neck down, will probably be in CG. He had a extremely detailed costume on with blue pores and skin and appeared extremely assured in it. There was additionally a rapid-fire edit of idea artwork that includes characters akin to the Sorceress, Evil-Lyn, Man-at-Arms, Tri-Klops, and lots of, many extra. Mainly, every appeared extraordinarily near the authentic animated variations and love, however simply with a live-action twist.

The footage continued with time-lapses of units being constructed and ended with a couple of scenes of Galitzine combating in the He-Man outfit, and even a close-up of his lengthy hair billowing in the wind.
