Nicholas Galitzine has been cast as Price Adam of Eternia, better known as He-Man, in the upcoming Masters of the Universe film.
The news about the 29-year-old actor – who recently spoke about being described as a “baby girl” – was revealed on Wednesday, when it was announced that the film would be directed by Travis Knight and written by Chris Butler.
Plot details about the upcoming fantasy action film are currently being kept under wraps.
Julie Rapaport, head of film production and development for Amazon MGM Studios, released a statement to express her excitement for the actor’s casting.
She stated via Deadline: ‘We’re thrilled to bring the beloved He-Man to life and couldn’t be more excited to announce the immensely talented Nicholas Galitzine as our He-Man.’
This comes after Nicholas starred in the hit film The Idea Of You opposite Anne Hathaway.

Rapaport added, “This reintroduction of the character and his universe will be an epic film that will delight audiences from here to Eternia.”
Years ago, there was talk of Noah Centino getting the role, but he denied it.
Mattel Films president Robbie Brenner also shared a post describing The Idea Of You star as both “charismatic and talented.”
Masters Of The Universe is currently set to hit theaters on June 5, 2026.
The film will be based on the media franchise of the same name, which kicked off with the release of a toy line in 1982.
The line was followed by an animated series entitled He-Man And The Masters of the Universe, which premiered in 1983.
The program lasted a total of two seasons, with a total of 130 episodes, and the finale aired in 1985.
The show was then adapted into a film, titled Masters of the Universe, which debuted in 1987.
The feature film, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor, proved to be a commercial and critical failure upon release.
