First Look: He-Man’s Iconic Power Sword Shines in ‘Masters of the Universe’ Live-Action Movie

The long-awaited live-action adaptation of “Masters of the Universe” is now moving forward, and fans have been treated to a sneak peek at a significant element from the narrative – He-Man’s Power Sword. Accompanying this unveiling, the film’s official emblem was also made public. It appears that Amazon and Mattel are eager to begin revealing the fruits of their labor to the world.


Over time, the Mystic Sword has experienced numerous adventures. Initially, it was divided into two pieces, with Skeletor aiming to unite them for power. At that point, He-Man opted for an axe and a shield rather than wielding the sword.

However, the situation altered significantly upon the debut of the original “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” cartoon series. It was then that the sword emerged as the enchanted artifact transforming Prince Adam into the mighty He-Man.

In this instance, there’s no indication that the sword is shattered or fractured. Instead, its appearance appears to adhere more closely to the traditional style while incorporating a contemporary twist. Over the years, the design of the sword has undergone numerous transformations, with fans recalling modifications from “The New Adventures of He-Man,” the 2002 remake, and the Netflix adaptations. More recently, in series such as “MOTU Revolution” and “Turtles of Grayskull,” the sword has been depicted as mending itself or dispelling dark magic when wielded by He-Man.

With the unveiling of the Power Sword’s design for the upcoming movie, excitement is definitely building up. This film features Nicholas Galitzine portraying Prince Adam, who transforms into He-Man, and it’s being helmed by director Travis Knight, with a screenplay penned by Chris Butler.

In the official summary, the narrative commences as a young Prince Adam experiences an unexpected crash on Earth and mislays the Power Sword, his only tie to his celestial home, Eternia. Approximately two decades later, he rediscovers the sword, which enables him to journey through space with the objective of thwarting Skeletor and safeguarding Eternia. However, before he can embody He-Man, he must first comprehend his true identity.

In the story, a 10-year-old prince named Adam arrives on Earth from another planet named Eternia. His only connection to this world is his magical sword which he lost upon arrival. After nearly 20 years, Prince Adam starts searching for his sword and eventually gets transported back to Eternia. To save his home from the wicked Skeletor, Prince Adam must first discover the secrets of his own past and transform into He-Man, the strongest being in the universe.

Travis Knight is primarily recognized for his work on “Kubo and the Two Strings” and “Bumblebee”. His films are appreciated for their blend of action with genuine emotion, making him an excellent pick to adapt Eternia for the cinema. The lineup includes Camila Mendes as Teela, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, and Jared Leto portraying Skeletor.

As a movie enthusiast, let me share some exciting cast details: I’ll be seeing Sam C. Wilson portray Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as the mysterious Goat Man, Kojo Attah stepping into the role of Tri-Klops, and Morena Baccarin bringing The Sorceress to life on screen. Additionally, James Purefoy and Charlotte Riley will be captivating in their portrayal of King Randor and Queen Marlena, respectively – Prince Adam’s loving parents.

Online, there’s been much discussion about the appearance of the upcoming movie, with some buzz generated by leaked set photos circulating. Some enthusiasts have expressed concerns that the film may not adhere sufficiently to the original narrative.

Following numerous setbacks and revisions, it’s at last confirmed that Masters of the Universe will materialize. The film is slated for a June 2026 premiere, and the unveiling of its logo and Power Sword hint at further developments. Given the ongoing Comic-Con, additional updates may be imminent. For now, the sword has been reinstated, and the clock to Eternia is ticking.
