One of theMasters of the Universestars teases about their costume on set. However, the actor playfully did it without fully revealing the look.
Masters of the Universeis an upcoming live-action adaptation of Mattel’s iconic 1980s franchise. The film aims to introduce He-Man and the world of Eternia to a new generation while taking inspiration from the original action figures and beloved animated series. Travis Knight, who helmed Bumblebee (2018), is attached to direct the film, with Chris Butler (ParaNormanandMissing Link) as the scriptwriter. The anticipated film stars Nicholas Galitzine (Prince Adam/He-Man), Jared Leto (Keldor/Skeletor), Camille Mendes (Teela), Alison Brie (Professor Evelyn Powers/Evil-Lyn), Idris Elba (Duncan/Man-At-Arms), Morena Baccarin (The Sorceress), James Purefoy (King Randor), Charlotte Riley (Queen Marlena), Sasheer Zamata (Suzie), and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Goat Man). Galitzine cheekily flexes his costume.
ForEternia.com, a website focusing on news and content forMasters of the Universefans, shared a clip of Galitzine on X, formerly Twitter. In the clip, he poses in hisHe-Mancostume onset. He did the back double biceps pose and some more poses to show off his buff body. However, his look isn’t exposed because he did the poses behind the curtain. So, what fans see is just a silhouette of Galitzine. However, it is noticeable that he is wearing the superhero’s trademark costume, a loincloth. His chin-length bob haircut is also evident.
He-Man is known for his ultra-muscular physique, like the bodybuilders and the classic fantasy heroConan the Barbarian. His physique shows his raw power, confidence, and physical dominance. He can lift massive boulders, hurl tanks, break thick metal chains, and even beat beasts larger than himself. To display his muscular physique, they intentionally keep his costume minimal by fully displaying his arms, chest, and legs.
Aside from his incredible superhuman strength, He-Man has impressive stamina and a high tolerance for pain. He is also a versatile warrior with trained combat techniques and a natural leader. Fans were delighted with theIdea of Youstar playing He-Man in the upcoming movie. According to them,Eterniais in good hands. Many also approved of the majority of the cast members, but several werenot pleased with Leto as Skeletor. One said Leto’s casting was a “joke.” Apparently, they were disappointed with his performance as Joker inSuicide Squad(2016) and in the flopped horror sci-fi thrillerMorbius,so they were not confident about Leto playing Skeletor.
Galitzine, showing off his costume even from behind a camera, generates excitement among fans. They love his physical transformation because his muscular build is noticeable even by just looking at his silhouette. His costume is also promising because it gives a nod to the original loincloth costume. Even if Galitzine’s shadow is all that’s shown in the post, his appearance is promising. Also, he gives off the classic He-Man vibe that draws fans to the superhero. Galitzine’s efforts to transform himself to embody He-Man on the big screen worked. In aninterview withW Magazinein January 2025, he shared how he prepared for the role. He reportedly eats and trains a lot. He consumes 4,000 calories a day, but since he also lifts weights, he ends up hungry by the end of the day. He jokingly said there was “no pressure” portraying “the strongest man in the universe.” Fans are excited to see Galitzine in his He-Man costume. Hopefully, his official look will be revealed soon.
