We haven't had a live-action He-Man movie since 1987, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. The new Masters of the Universe has been in development for twenty years, but couldn't get off the ground because of the huge investment required, so the rights have been bandied about like a balloon. But by the power of Grayskull, the movie was finally made.
This movie is an origin story, in which Prince Adam Glenn/He-Man is exiled as a child to modern-day America for his own safety, but returns to Eternia as an adult to fulfill his destiny and defeat the evil Skeletor (Skeletor, no! Everyone loves Skeletor!) played by Jared Leto (oh, never mind, then). He-Man is played by Nicholas Galitzine, and the movie also features Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Kristen Wiig, and Idris Elba.
In case you're wondering, yes, Mattel still sells Masters of the Universe toys, the 1983 TV show can be found on streaming services, and there was an animated reboot in 2021. Masters of the Universe will open nationwide on June 5, 2026. -via Geeks Are Sexy
