Masters of the Universe is a 2026 sword-and-sorcery film directed by Travis Knight, starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man and Jared Leto as the villainous Skeletor. The plot follows an adult Adam who was exiled to Earth as a child, now returning to his home planet Eternia to reclaim the Sword of Power, rally the hidden Masters, and rescue his captured parents from Skeletor's rule. The film endured a famously long production journey, first announced by Sony in 2009, later shifting to Netflix in 2022, and finally being acquired by Amazon MGM Studios in 2024, with principal photography taking place in London from January to June 2025. It premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on May 18, 2026, and was released in the United States on June 5, 2026, with Sony handling international distribution. Despite critics praising the cast performances, action sequences, visual effects, and nostalgic tone, the film received mixed reviews overall and underperformed at the box office, grossing just $114 million worldwide against its $170 million production budget.
