Witness the origin of He-Man in the Masters of the Universe trailer

January 22, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

Following yesterday’s teaser, Amazon MGM Studios has debuted the first full trailer for the long-awaited live-action reboot of Masters of the Universe.

Directed by Travis Knight (Bumblebee), the film sees Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine), finally track down his sword, almost two decades after he crashed down to Earth as a child, and is whisked back to the planet of Eternia to save his home from the evil forces of Skeletor (Jared Leto). 

Masters of the Universe features a cast that includes Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms, Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, Jon Xue Zhang as Ram-Man, Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Fisto, James Purefoy as King Randor, Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena and Kristen Wiig as the voice of Roboto. Check out the trailer below…

“Masters of the Universe follows 10-year old Prince Adam, who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man, the most powerful man in the Universe.”
