Masters of the Universe

by

In the upcoming “Masters of the Universe” film produced by Amazon Studios, we get our initial glimpse at Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and Camila Mendes as Teela. Hafthor Bjornsson, known for his role as The Mountain in “Game of Thrones”, can be seen portraying Goat Man in the movie.

As a movie enthusiast, I can tell you that the captivating scene on screen is a result of a backstage photograph of the two talented actors meticulously preparing and honing their craft for their respective roles.

Last time we encountered Nicholas Galitzine, he was noticeably more muscular, sporting longer, blond hair – much like the iconic character He-Man.

In addition, Camila Mendes has been working on her physique and sports the distinctive red hair that Teela is recognized for across different animated series and action figures.

Could there hope hope for this movie!?

Nicholas Galitzine training for He-Man

The picture you see above represents the last instance where Nicholas Galitzine was spotted, primarily through his social media platforms. In a recent post, he shared insights into his preparations for the role and emphasized that the “Masters of the Universe” film will offer a unique take on the original story.

No worries, I’ve got a challenging role to play as the mightiest man in the cosmos. It involves plenty of eating and strength training, along with numerous stunts. I consume approximately 4,000 calories daily, yet despite all the exertion, I find myself still feeling hungry at day’s end, which is quite unexpected. This part is enjoyable for me.

In the future, I’ll enter a stage often referred to as ‘the cutting phase.’ During this period, I may not eat enough and might appear less polite towards others. I want to express my sincere apologies for any change in behavior that you might notice over the next few months.

Camila Mendes shows off Teela look

30-year-old Camila Mendes also has been posting images of herself sporting her new hair for Teela.

Excited beyond words to have landed this role… I still can’t believe it’s true! A big thank you goes out to @amazonmgmstudios, @mattel, and Travis Knight for trusting me as Teela. Here’s to Eternia!”

This version maintains the original sentiment but is more straightforward and easier to understand for a wider audience.

Plot info

Details about the plot are being closely guarded, but based on earlier industry reports, it seems that we might expect a storyline somewhat akin to…

10-year-old Prince Adam arrives on Earth after a spaceship crash, losing contact with his magical Power Sword, the only connection to his planet Eternia. After about 20 years, he finds the sword, and is then transported back through space to protect Eternia from the malevolent Skeletor. However, to overcome such a potent adversary, Prince Adam must initially solve the riddles of his past and transform into He-Man, the mightiest man in the cosmos!
